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 - Low pressure has developed over the NW Gulf. The low will track NE and drag a cold front across the Gulf through late Mon and early Tue. High pressure will build in the wake of the front.
3. Caribbean Sea - Mainly fresh trade winds will prevail across the central and E Caribbean and Atlantic waters through Mon. Large trade wind swell will continue over Atlantic waters through Sun. A cold front will reach the NW Caribbean Tue. The front will stall and weaken from eastern Cuba to northern Belize through mid week.
3a. The basin continues to be under the influence of relatively dry and stable conditions aloft due to an upper level ridge. While overall conditions at the surface remain fairly tranquil...low- level cloudiness and isolated shower activity is occurring across the Mona and Windward Passage regions and across Hispaniola this evening generally N of 16N between 66W-75W. Isolated showers are also occurring across the Lesser Antilles S of 18N between 60W- 64W. Moderate to fresh trades are expected to continue through Wednesday.
