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 - Moderate to fresh southerly winds will continue ahead of a cold front moving off the Texas coast on Mon when strong southerly winds will develop briefly ahead of the front. The front will move E and extend from the Florida Big Bend to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico by late Tue. A reinforcing front enters the NW Gulf Wed and moves rapidly SE and extends from SW Florida to the northern Bay of Campeche, Mexico by late Thu and weakens over the far southern Gulf by late Fri.
3. Caribbean Sea - The pressure gradient between Atlantic high pressure and broad low pressure over Colombia will support nocturnal gales along the NW coast of Colombia tonight and again Mon night...and fresh to strong trades elsewhere across the central and eastern Caribbean through Tue. A weakening cold front will reach the Yucatan Channel Thu and stall from NW Cuba to 19N87W by late Fri.
3a. An upper level ridge extends from northern sections of Colombia to the Yucatan Peninsula. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, across the entire area. Middle level-to-upper level SE wind flow is moving through the Caribbean Sea. This SE wind flow is due to the fact that the Caribbean Sea is on the southern side of the larger-scale anticyclonic wind flow that is spanning the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea. A surface trough is along 60W/61W from 10N to 16N. Convective precipitation: Scattered to broken low level clouds and possible rainshowers are from 10N to 16N between 58W in the Atlantic Ocean and 68W in the Caribbean Sea. A second surface trough is along 75W/76W from 13N to 17N, just to the east of Jamaica. Scattered to broken low level clouds and possible rainshowers are from 14N to 19N between 75W and 82W. Convective precipitation: Widely scattered moderate to isolated strong in the SE part of Nicaragua. The precipitation is occurring near an area of upper level cyclonic wind flow and upper level diffluent wind flow. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 02/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.01 in Guadeloupe.
