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 ridge will dominate the Gulf waters through Wed. A thermal trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each evening before pushing offshore into the SW Gulf each night. A cold front will cross the NW Gulf by Wed night...reaching from S Florida to the E Bay of Campeche, Mexico by Thu night. Strong northerly winds will follow this front with the potential for a gale to develop over the southwest Gulf on Thu.
3. Caribbean Sea - High pressure building N of area will result in increasing winds and building seas across the entire region by tonight. Strong nocturnal flow is expected within about 90 NM off the coast of Colombia...with winds reaching minimal gale force during the overnight and early morning hours through Sat night.
3a. Broad middle level-to-upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the Caribbean Sea from 14N northward. Middle level to upper level NW wind flow covers the area from 14N southward from 75W eastward. Middle level to upper level cyclonic wind flow covers the SW corner of the area, from 06N to 13N between 79W in the Caribbean Sea to 88W in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery elsewhere across the area. Rainshowers are possible elsewhere across the Caribbean Sea, from 14N southward from 66W eastward, and elsewhere from 82W eastward. The 24-hour rainfall amounts, for the period ending at 28/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are: 0.19 in Guadeloupe.
