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 strong cold front will sweep across the entire gulf over the weekend accompanied by a large area of strong to gale force winds across most of the waters N of 22N both E and W of the front. Conditions will improve Tue through Wed as high pressure builds in the wake of the front.
3. Caribbean Sea - Weak high pressure over the central Bahamas will shift E-NE through the weekend and into the central Atlantic by Mon... maintaining a weak tradewind flow across the basin. Winds will increase across the NW Caribbean over the weekend ahead of a strong cold front that will move E across the Gulf of Mexico. This cold front will move across the Yucatan Channel and the NW Caribbean Sun night...reach from Windward Passage to SE Nicaragua Tue morning...and become diffuse across the NE Caribbean Wed.
3a. An area of high pressure centered just north of Cuba and extends across the basin. Scatterometer data depicts gentle to moderate trades across most of the basin except north of Honduras south of 18N and west of 83W, where fresh to strong southeasterly winds prevail. A cold front was analyzed north of Puerto Rico along 19N with isolated showers. Expect for the winds near Honduras to continue pulsing through the next 24 hours as a frontal boundary approaches from the Gulf of Mexico. The winds will then weaken by late Sunday.
