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 - High pressure ridging from the western Atlantic will promote E to SE return flow over the Gulf through Thu. The pressure gradient between the high pressure and deepening low pressure over the southern plains will begin to tighten on Tue afternoon resulting in SE winds to increase over much of the western and central Gulf through Thu. The associated cold front will reach the NW Gulf early on Thu...and move across the northern Gulf through Fri while weakening. Southerly winds increase to fresh to strong intensity ahead of the front over the N central and NE waters Thu through Fri. A thermal trough will bring fresh to strong winds to the E Bay of Campeche, Mexico each night this week.
3. Caribbean Sea - Low pressure N of the Caribbean will maintain a light wind regime across the Caribbean through Tue. High pressure will build N of the central Caribbean Tue night bringing an increase to the trades across most of the Caribbean. Northerly swell is expected to propagate into the northern tropical Atlantic Wed through Fri.
3a. An upper level trough passes through 32N75W to 23N71W to Jamaica, to 16N81W, to southern Nicaragua. A surface ridge passes through 32N78W in the Atlantic Ocean, across NE Florida, into the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. A surface trough is along 29N66W, to a 1009 mb low pressure center that is near 24N69W, to central sections of the Dominican Republic, to 19N70W at the coast of the Dominican Republic. Convective precipitation: Broken to overcast multilayered clouds and isolated moderate from 22N northward between 55W and 72W. Rain showers are possible elsewhere from 18N to 22N between 60W and 70W. The dividing line of wind flow regimes is the Atlantic Ocean 23N71W-to-Nicaragua upper level trough. Upper level SW wind flow covers everywhere that is to the east of the trough. Upper level NW wind flow is to the NW of the trough. No 24-hour rainfall totals are listed for the period that ended at 27/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC.
