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 - A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters through the forecast period supporting mainly moderate to fresh E to SE winds. Fresh to locally strong E to SE winds are expected at night off the Yucatan Peninsula due to local effects. The next cold front is forecast to clip the NW Gulf Tuesday night into Wed morning...then will move N of the area. A second cold front is expected to reach the NW Gulf by Thu night.
3. Caribbean Sea - High pressure N of area will support fresh to strong winds across much of the basin...including the Atlantic passages through Wed. Strong winds will continue off the coast of Colombia through Thu... reaching near gale force at night.
3a. Upper level SW wind flow curves anticyclonically, from Central America and South America, into the Caribbean Sea, from 14N southward. NE wind flow, from 350 mb to 800 mb, covers the Caribbean Sea from 14N northward from 75W eastward. Middle level-to-upper level cyclonic wind flow covers the area that is from 14N northward from 75W westward. Comparatively drier air in subsidence, that is apparent in water vapor imagery, spans the Caribbean Sea. 24-HOUR rainfall amounts in inches for the period ending at 15/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...0.13 in Guadeloupe.
