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 over the NW Gulf will track E and drag a cold front across the Gulf through 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 move into the Atlantic waters Tue night. A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Sea Tue. The front will stall and weaken from eastern Cuba to Belize through mid week.
3a. A 1007 mb surface low is centered over north Colombia near 08N75W. With this, the pressure gradient is enough to support fresh to strong easterly winds mainly south of 13N between 73W-76W as noted in scatterometer data. Moderate to fresh trades prevail elsewhere. These winds are transporting low-level moisture across the basin which is enhancing isolated quick-moving showers across the area. In the upper levels, ridging is over the Caribbean axis along 65W. Strong subsidence is over the Caribbean Sea, except over the NW Caribbean where upper-level moisture is noted. Expect in 24 hours for the tail end of a cold front to enter the west Caribbean with convection. This front will continue moving east across the east and central Caribbean through the next 48 hours.
