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 - Minimal gale conditions across the Straits of Florida will end by midnight. Fresh to strong E to SE return flow forecast elsewhere through Mon...then the pressure gradient will relax on Mon night. A thermal trough will develop each afternoon over the Yucatan Peninsula and move W across the SW Gulf late each night into early each morning accompanied by a fresh to strong NE to E wind shift. The next cold front will enter the NW Gulf on Tue evening...reach the central Gulf on Wed...stall along 23N on Thu with the remnants drifting N on Fri.
3. Caribbean Sea - Gale force NE winds are expected during the overnight and early morning hours across the NW coast of Colombia through Thu night. Minimal gale force NE winds expected downstream of the Windward Passage and to the lee of Hispaniola overnight. Otherwise strong to near gale force winds will dominate most of Caribbean through mid week...and then diminish from the N late in week as the strong E flow shifts E across the tropical waters.
3a. Upper level SW wind flow covers the area to the east of the line that runs from the SE coast of Nicaragua to SW Haiti. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow is moving across the area that is to the west of the aforementioned Nicaragua-to-Haiti line. NE wind flow from 600 mb to 800 mb spans the entire area. Rain showers are possible, in areas of broken low level clouds, mainly from 70W eastward, and from 15N northward from 70W westward. The 24-hour rainfall amounts, for the period ending at 06/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are: 0.20 in Guadeloupe.
