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 - Fresh to strong winds will spread over the SE Gulf today and tonight. A thermal trough over the Yucatan will move across SW waters each night then dissipate by late morning. Mainly moderate winds will prevail elsewhere across the basin through Wed.
3. Caribbean Sea - Fresh to strong trades are expected in the S central Caribbean through Tue...and in the N central Caribbean through Sat night. Large N swell will reach NE Caribbean passages on Mon and spread S across tropical waters E of the Leewards through Wed.
3a. The pressure gradient between strong high pressure over the west Atlantic and lower pressure over northern Colombia continue to support fresh to strong winds from 10N to 12N between 74W and 77W. This synoptic pattern is expected to continue over the weekend. Water Vapor and CIRA LPW imagery continue to show very stable conditions over the western Caribbean while SW winds aloft advects moisture from South America to the eastern basin. Moisture is also being advected from the tropical Atlc waters to the NE Caribbean by SE flow associated with an area of low pressure in the SW Atlc waters. All this moisture along with middle level troughing across the region may induce the development of showers mainly over the NE basin...including Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands. Shower activity for this region and Hispaniola may increase late today and Sunday as the tail of a cold front pass to the N of the Islands.
