The Tropical Weather Outlook

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A cold front over the SE Gulf of Mexico will reach the Straits of Florida today; where it will stall and slowly dissipate by Sat. A reinforcing front over the northern waters will become diffuse today. High pressure will build in the wake of this front.
2. Moderate to fresh trade winds will prevail over much of the Caribbean for the forecast period.
3. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) is exceptionally intense today. See Figs. 18, 19 and 20 above.
