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 strong high pressure ridge along the U.S. E Coast will build SW across the basin through early Sat and support strong E to SE winds across most of the Gulf...while a fresh to locally strong E breeze along the N coasts of the Yucatan and Cuba will continue through late Sat. A thermal trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each afternoon...move westward across the Bay of Campeche, Mexico overnight and dissipate by late morning each day.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure building eastward across the Western Atlantic from the mid Atlantic states will maintain strong NE winds across the NW and N central Caribbean through early on Sat. Large N swell will reach the tropical N Atlantic waters and NE Caribbean passages late tonight and persist through Sun. Low pressure forecast to develop N of Hispaniola over the weekend will allow winds and seas to gradually subside Sun through Tue night.
3a. Upper level SW wind flow is to the east of the line that runs from the Windward Passage to NE coastal Nicaragua. Upper level cyclonic wind flow covers the Caribbean Sea to the west of the same Windward Passage-to-NE Nicaragua line. Rain showers are possible to the N of 16N between 60W and the Windward Passage, and from Jamaica southward from 77W westward. This precipitation is possible in scattered to broken low level clouds. Broken to overcast multilayered clouds and possible precipitation are to the east of the line that runs from the southern coast of Haiti, to 15N77W, and to the coast of Panama along 77W. The 24-hour rainfall total in inches for the period ending at 24/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...is 0.01 in Guadeloupe, and a trace in Curacao.
