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 cold front extending from north Florida to the central Gulf near 25N90W will lift N as a warm front through Mon ahead of a low pressure system tracking across Texas and Louisiana Tue and Wed. The next cold front will enter the Gulf region late Wednesday, reaching from central Florida to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico by Thursday. Strong northerly winds will follow this front with the potential for a gale to develop over the southwest Gulf on thursday.
3. Caribbean Sea - Trade winds will begin to increase across the basin tonight as high pressure builds N of the area. Strong nocturnal flow is forecast to developed near the coast of Colombia...with winds reaching minimal gale force during the overnight and early morning hours Mon through Thu.
3a. A sharp mid-to-upper level trough passes through the Windward Passage and into the southwest corner of the basin. At the surface, a trough was analyzed from 20N82W to 17N86W with isolated showers. Another trough extends across the western half of Hispaniola from 21N73W to 18N72W with isolated convection. Very strong subsidence was noted in the wake of the trough and elsewhere over the basin east of 80W. A weak surface ridge extended from 20N60W through the northern Leeward Islands to 15N75W. This ridge maintained sub-normal trade winds over the basin, generally around 10 kt. The trade winds should begin to increase today as high pressure builds north of the area, with strong winds likely within 90 nm of the coast of Colombia on Sunday night into Monday. Gale-force winds are expected to develop across the south-central Caribbean.
