The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - Fresh to strong southerly return flow will prevail across most of the basin through Mon. A weak cold front will move across the northern Gulf Mon through Wed.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure north of the area shifting eastward into the central Atlantic through Sun will support a small area of nocturnal gales N of Colombia...and a broad area of fresh to strong trades over the central and E Caribbean...tonight through Mon night.
3a. Broad anticyclonic flow covers most of the Caribbean W of 75W which became more confluent and generally W to NW over the eastern part of the basin. Strong deep layered subsidence was noted over virtually the entire basin. Patches of scattered to broken low level clouds and possible showers were noted in the area from 15N to 18N between 70W and 82W, including Hispaniola and the Windward Passage. An additional area of showers was noted over the Windward and Leeward islands extending over the Virgin Islands. Scatterometer data indicated moderate to fresh trade winds over the NW and south-central portions of the basin. The area of forecast gale force winds was missed by the scatterometer pass. Little change is expected over the basin as gale force winds intermittently pulse in the area from 11N to 13N between 73W and 76W.
