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 - Scattered showers and tstms over NE Florida will shift E ahead of a weak cold front currently reaching from Vermilion Bay, Louisiana to 25N95W. The front shift east today then stall from Ft Myers, Florida to Galveston Bay, Texas Sat and dissipate Sun. Fresh to strong return flow will then dominate across the western Gulf through Sun night and over the eastern basin through Monday night. A second cold front will move off the Texas Coast Sun night reaching from near W central Florida to N of the Yucatan Peninsula Mon night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Building high pres N of the area will support moderate to fresh winds across most of the Caribbean waters...except for strong winds developing at night along the coast of Colombia and across the Gulf of Honduras. Northerly swell moving through the tropical N Atlc will fade Fri with another larger northerly swell invading Sat through Mon.
3a. Conditions remain relatively tranquil across the basin this evening as an middle to upper level ridge prevails over the western Caribbean and mostly dry northwesterly flow aloft over the eastern Caribbean. Within the NW flow...a shear line extends from Guadeloupe to 15N68W. Low-level moisture convergence is maximized across the eastern Caribbean in the vicinity of the shear line generating isolated showers generally from 14N-17N between 62W- 72W. Otherwise...moderate to fresh trades continue and are expected to persist through the weekend into early next week.
