The Tropical Weather Outlook
Tropical wave along 70W will move across the eastern Caribbean today. Then move across the central Caribbean tonight into Monday and across the W Caribbean Monday night and Tuesday.
A cold front moves off the Texas coast by late Wednesday. The cold front is expected to reach from near SE Louisiana to NE Mexico or far southern Texas by late Thursday.
A large area of cloudiness and showers located about 1000 miles east the Lesser Antilles is associated with an elongated area of low pressure. Although Invest 98L is producing winds to near tropical storm force...the system lacks a well-defined circulation center. Furthermore...thunderstorm activity has decreased and upper-level winds are gradually becoming less conducive for development. This morning, it was located at 12N x 45W or about 2700 miles E (96°) of Roatan.. It is moving WNW at 10 to 15 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 35 mph. This system has a medium chance...10 percent...of becoming a tropical depression during the next 2 to 5 days.
The SAL, has again decreased in both area and density in the last 24 hours. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
