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 build over the eastern Gulf today as a strong low pressure system over the SW N Atlantic moves farther E. A cold front reaching the Texas coast today will move across the northern Gulf through Sat night then lift northward as a  warm front Sun ahead of a low pressure system tracking across Texas and Louisiana and well N of the area Mon and Tue.
3. Caribbean Sea - A cold front from E Cuba to 17N81W will move E and weaken today. Strong nocturnal flow will develop near the NW coast of Colombia sat...with gale force winds possible Sun night through Tue night.
3a. Broad middle to upper level troughing is noted on water vapor over the Caribbean this morning supporting a cold front extending across eastern Cuba from 20N75W SW to 17N80W. A pre-frontal surface trough also extends from across western Hispaniola near 20N72W to 16N76W. Isolated showers are occurring within 120 NM E of the surface trough boundary. Isolated showers are also occurring N of 18N in association with the cold front and southwestern periphery of the Special Features low pressure system centered across the SW North Atlantic region. With the frontal system across the north-central portion of the basin...the usual trade wind flow is disrupted at this time keeping winds generally light to moderate. Within mostly E-SE winds E of the surface trough boundary...isolated showers are occurring across the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico mainly NE of a line from 14N61W to the Mona Passage near 18N67W. The cold front is expected to drift eastward and move N of the region by late Friday night with a more normal trade wind synoptic pattern expected across the basin by Saturday.
