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 locally strong E winds will continue across the SE waters including the Straits of Florida through Sun afternoon. locally strong E winds expected along the NW coast of the Yucatan peninsula each evening. Fresh to locally strong southerly flow expected briefly across the NW waters tonight. Otherwise...mainly moderate to fresh southerly winds will prevail during the remainder of the period.
3. Caribbean Sea - A stationary front extending across SW from Mona Passage to NE Costa Rica will begin to drift NW and weaken to a shear axis later in the week. The northern portion of the front will begin to move E again as a weak cold front today passing through the Leewards tonight...and then continue SE eventually weakening to a shear axis across the tropical waters along 14.5N this weekend. Minimal gale force winds are forecast along the NW coast of Colombia tonight and Thu night. Strong NE flow will persist over the W and central Caribbean through Fri night before diminishing somewhat.
3a. An upper level trough cuts through the Caribbean Sea, across Hispaniola, toward Jamaica. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, to the NW of the line that passes through 20N62W in the Atlantic Ocean, to 15N72W, and to NE Nicaragua. Upper level SW wind flow is to the SE of the trough. Middle level-to-upper level anticyclonic wind flow is to the W and NW of the trough, across the area of the drier air in subsidence. A stationary front passes through the Mona Passage to the border of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 15N southward from 78W westward. Rain showers are possible also within 120 nm on either side of the rest of the stationary front.
