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 will prevail over the northern forecast waters through Sat. Fresh to strong winds will prevail across the SE waters and Straits of Florida through early Wed. A surface trough will develop over the Yucatan each evening...then shift into the E Gulf of Campeche overnight where it will support fresh to strong winds before dissipating each morning.
3. Caribbean Sea - Increasing pressure gradient NW of a stalled front from 21N74W NE into central Atlantic waters will allow for fresh NE winds to pulse to strong in the lee of Cuba each night through Wed as well as through the Windward Passage. Fresh winds off the coast of Colombia will pulse to strong each night through Sat. Gentle to moderate trade winds will prevail elsewhere through Sat.
3a. High pressure north of the region supports moderate to fresh easterly trades over the majority of the Caribbean basin this morning. The only exception is locally strong winds along the northwestern coast of Colombia. Scattered showers cover the Greater Antilles, with numerous showers in the vicinity of the southern portion of a surface trough that extends from the Atlantic, across Puerto Rico, to near 17N67W. Over the next 48 hours the surface trough will be absorbed by a developing broad area of low pressure north of the eastern Caribbean. This will help to disrupt the trade wind flow over the northeastern Caribbean. Little change is expected elsewhere.
