The Tropical Weather Outlook

The northern extension of two tropical waves will pass through the S central and SW Caribbean waters through Wednesday. Saharan air will spread W across the basin behind both tropical waves to create very stable conditions through Wednesday...then spread into NW portions Thursday and Friday. See Figs. 13, 14, 16, 17, & 18.

A stationary trough of low pressure, to the NW of us, interacting with a large upper-level low is producing widespread cloudiness and disorganized showers. Environmental conditions are currently unfavorable for development, but could become slightly more conducive later this week as this system moves little.See Fig 20 above.

There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time.
