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 high pressure ridge extending from the western Atlantic across the area will shift S through Mon as a weak cold front drops S over the northern Gulf. The ridge will then weaken and shift eastward Mon night and Tue as a stronger cold front moves across eastern Texas. This front will move into the NW Gulf Tue night...then reach from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico Wed night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Winds pulsing to minimal gale force along the coast of Colombia will diminish later this morning...then pulse again to gale force tonight. Long period N swell will propagate into the northern tropical N Atlantic today...then again on Wed through Thu.
3a. The tail end of a stationary front is over Hispaniola producing scattered showers. Residual surface moisture in the form of scattered showers continues from Hispaniola to Jamaica to NE Honduras. Elsewhere, a good amount of broken to overcast low clouds with embedded showers are advecting over the S Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, N Venezuela, and NE Colombia, from the Atlantic. In the upper levels zonal flow is over Central America and the Caribbean Sea with very strong subsidence. Expect over the next 24 hours for the cold front over the Atlantic to dip S and produce scattered showers from the N Leeward Islands to Hispaniola. Also expect residual moisture from the front to produce scattered showers from Hispaniola to the Gulf of Honduras. Meanwhile, expect more scattered showers along N Venezuela, N Colombia, and the SW Caribbean within the tradewind flow.
