The Tropical Weather Outlook

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Gonzalo, located just northeast of the British Virgin

 Islands. 
2. A broad area of low pressure located about 1200 miles east of the Lesser Antilles continues to produce a large area of

 disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Strong upper-level winds affecting this system are forecast to strengthen

 further during the next few days, and development of this low into a tropical cyclone is unlikely as it moves slowly 

toward the northwest. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. 
3. Hurricane Gonzalo near 19.6N 64.4W 974 mb at 5 AM AST moving NW at 11 kt. maximum sustained winds 95 kt 

gusts 115 kt. Gonzalo will move to 21.0N 65.6W this afternoon. Otherwise...moderate to locally fresh trades will 

diminish to gentle to moderate by Wed and persist through Fri night. A weak cold front will stall from near NW Cuba 

to across the Yucatan Channel Wed in the evening and Thu before dissipating through Fri.
4. A cold front extending from 30N89W to 26N93W to 22N98W will gradually weaken as it reaches from near 

Apalachee Bay to the SW Gulf of Mexico near 18N93W this evening...moving SE-S of the basin Wed night. Winds will

 increase to gale force along the coast of Veracruz this afternoon. High pressure builds in behind the front Thu through 

Fri night with rapidly diminishing winds and seas.
