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 - Strong high pres NE of region will support strong E to SE winds across most of the Gulf through Sat morning. The high will gradually weaken and shift eastward through early next week. A weak cold front will approach the Texas coast today and stall. A thermal trough will move W across the Bay of Campeche, Mexico each night and dissipate by late morning.
3. Caribbean Sea - Large N swell will propagate through tropical N Atlantic waters and NE Caribbean passages through Sun afternoon. A trough from the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic to 12N70W will slowly dissipate S of 18N through early Sun. Scattered showers and isolated tstms over much of the eastern Caribbean are expected to continue through Mon. Low pres developing N of the Caribbean will help weaken the gradient further across the area maintaining generally gentle to moderate trades and low seas through early next week.
3a. A surface trough is along 30N46W, to an Atlantic Ocean 1014 mb low pressure center that is near 21N63W. The surface trough continues from 21N63W, through the Mona Passage, into the Caribbean Sea near 13N70W. Convective precipitation: broken to overcast multilayered clouds and possible rain showers are within 240 nm to 360 nm on either side of 32N41W, 25N50W, 25N65W, and 11N69W at the coast of Venezuela. Upper level SW wind flow is moving on top of the area of clouds and possible precipitation in the Caribbean Sea. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow is moving on top of the area of clouds and possible precipitation in the Atlantic Ocean. The dividing line of wind flow regimes extends from the southern border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic to the coast of Costa Rica near 10N83W. The upper level wind flow that is to the west of that line is cyclonic. The upper level wind flow that is to the east of that line is from the SW. Rain showers are comparatively more possible to the east of the dividing line of upper level cyclonic wind flow and upper level SW wind flow. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is evident in water vapor imagery to the west of the dividing line. The 24-hour rainfall total in inches for the period ending at 25/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...is 0.16 in Curacao.
