The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A push of cold air will move into the NW Gulf of Mexico today. This air will move in behind a frontal boundary currently stretched from Pensacola Bay, Florida through 23N95W to Tampico, Mexico. The front will push southeastward across the northern Gulf of Mexico through Fri night while the southern portion remains W of 94W. The front will stall from Naples, Florida through 24N93W to 18N93W Sat into early Sun before moving from Florida Bay to the NE Yucatan Sun night. Gale conditions are possible in the W central and SW Gulf of Mexico Fri night through Sat.
2. The pressure gradient between high pressure N of the Caribbean and low pressure in northern Colombia will maintain fresh to strong winds across most of the Caribbean...with gale force winds expected near the coast of Colombia...through early Fri morning. Winds will diminish across the area over the weekend as a cold front approaches the Yucatan Channel from the Gulf of Mexico.
3. The SAL has decreased in area and increased in density.
