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 - High pressure will meander over the NE Gulf through tonight before collapsing. A weak cold front across the NW waters early this morning will move SE and reach from central Florida to far SE Texas early Sat before stalling W portions then drifting N as warm front and into SE Texas early Sun. New high pressure will sink into NE Gulf Sun through Mon to produce moderate return flow W portions. High to then shift E into W Atlantic through Tue allowing return flow to expand E across entire basin.
3. Caribbean Sea - Fresh to strong winds will continue over the S central Caribbean through the forecast period. Winds will reach gale force each night along and near the coast of Colombia Sat through Tue. NE to E swell will maintain high seas across the tropical Atlantic zones through early next week.
3a. The pressure gradient between high pressure north of the region and climatological low pressure over Colombia has been supporting fresh to strong east to northeast winds over the south Central Caribbean for the past several days. Winds near the coast of Colombia have been pulsing to near gale force each night. Moderate to fresh east to northeast winds dominate the remainder of the Caribbean. Dry air and subsidence from aloft is inhibiting any deep convection across the basin. The only notable precipitation is associated with patches of trade wind showers streaming westward across the Caribbean, as well as showers along the coast of Central America. Little change is expected over the next 24 hours.
