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

1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - Fresh to strong southerly return flow will prevail across most of the basin through Mon. A weak cold front will move across the northern Gulf Mon through Wed.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure north of the area shifting eastward into the central Atlantic through Sun will support a small area of nocturnal gales N of Colombia...and a broad area of fresh to strong trades over the central and E Caribbean...tonight through Mon night.
3a. Middle level NE wind flow moves from Hispaniola, toward Central America, from Honduras to Panama. Upper level NW wind flow is moving from Cuba to Hispaniola, and beyond the SE corner of the Caribbean Sea. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery across the entire area. Scattered to broken low level clouds and possible rainshowers are in the area that is from 15N to 20N between 70W and 80W, around Hispaniola and the Windward Passage, and from 17N southward from 80W westward,

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - Strong to gale force winds and building seas will follow a cold front moving across the Gulf tonight and Friday. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward across the southeastern United States through Sat night. This will allow fresh to strong southerly flow to develop in the NW and N central Gulf Sat and Sun...ahead of a weak front expected to move off the Texas coast late Mon.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure will pass north of the region as a cold front moves south over the Yucatan Channel later today. The high will become centered over the central Atlantic later this weekend supporting nightly gale winds N of Colombia Sat night through Mon night. 3a. Middle level NW wind flow moves from Florida and the Bahamas toward Hispaniola, and then it turns anticyclonically toward the SW corner of the Caribbean Sea. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the area that is from 18N southward from 80W eastward. Scattered to broken low level clouds and possible rainshowers are within 90 nm on either side of the line that runs from 19N74W near Haiti, to 16N78W, beyond 12N84W into Nicaragua. Similar clouds and possible precipitation are from 10N to 14N between 54W in the Atlantic Ocean and 66W in the Caribbean Sea. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 30/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.03 in Curacao, and 0.02 in Guadeloupe.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - Strong to gale force winds and building seas will follow a cold front moving across the Gulf today and Friday. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward across the southeastern United States through Sat night. This will allow fresh to strong southerly flow to develop in the NW and N central Gulf Sat and Sun...ahead of a weak front expected to move off the Texas coast late Mon.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong trade winds off Colombia diminish through late Fri as high pressure N of the area shifts E ahead of an approaching cold front. Strong NE winds will follow the front as it moves into the far NW Caribbean late Fri. The front will stall from E Cuba to Belize by late Sat then dissipate through early next week. High pressure building behind the front N of the area will support strong trades across the Caribbean from Fri night through early next week...diminishing by mid week.
3a. The pressure gradient generated by the interaction of the surface high that prevails across the Atlantic and lower pressures across the northern portion of South America is supporting moderate to fresh trades across the Caribbean waters. Low-level moisture transported by the trades is generating isolated low-topped showers that will continue moving quickly across the basin. Winds will diminish later tonight through Friday night as the pressure gradient weakens. A cold front is expected to move into the northwest Caribbean by late Friday. The front will then stall from the Windward Passage to the Gulf of Honduras by Saturday night.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - High pressure N of the area supporting fresh to strong E winds in the Straits of Florida will weaken and shift E...allowing winds and seas to diminish. Warm moist SE winds over the NW Gulf will allow patchy fog through Wed night. Strong NW winds and building seas will follow a cold front moving into the NW Gulf Thu and sweeping through the SE Gulf by late Fri. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward along 31N through Sat night allowing for moderate to fresh southerly flow to develop in the far western Gulf.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure N of the area will support fresh to strong NE winds across the Caribbean through today. Winds and seas diminish Wed through Fri night as the high pressure weakens. NE to E trades increase on Sat over much of the W Caribbean and Windward Passage areas. Strong trades will pulse off the coast of Colombia through early Sat.
3a. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow, from South America and Central America, toward the north and northeast, is related to an upper level ridge that extends from northern Colombia beyond NW Cuba. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, to the north and northeast of the line that passes through La Peninsula de la Guajira of northern Colombia, to the eastern coast of Jamaica, beyond NW Cuba. Upper level NE wind flow has been pushing the comparatively drier air into this part of the Caribbean Sea. Upper level southerly wind flow covers the area that is from 80W westward, in the area of upper level anticyclonic wind flow, with the Colombia-to-NW Cuba ridge. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 18N southward from 80W westward, in the coastal waters and coastal plains of Central America. It is possible that speed convergence may be a contributing factor to the precipitation. The monsoon trough is along 09N between 73W and beyond 84W in Costa Rica. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 11N southward from 76W westward. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 27/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.19 in Curacao, and 0.13 in Guadeloupe.

3. Caribbean Sea - Atlantic high pressure will support fresh to strong NE winds across the Caribbean through early Tue. Winds and seas diminish Wed through Fri as the high pressure weakens...although strong winds will continue to pulse off Colombia.
3a. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow, from South America and Central America, toward the north and northeast, is related to an upper level ridge that extends from Lake Maracaibo in NW Venezuela, beyond NW Cuba. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, to the north and northeast of the line that passes through 12N60W 14N70W 20N81W. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow has been pushing the comparatively drier air into this part of the Caribbean Sea. Upper level southerly wind flow covers the area that is from 80W westward, in the area of upper level anticyclonic wind flow, with the Venezuela-to-NW Cuba ridge. Convective precipitation: widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 20N southward from 80W westward, in the coastal waters and coastal plains of Central America. It is possible that speed convergence may be a contributing factor to the precipitation. The monsoon trough is along 08N/09N between 74W and southern Panama. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate to locally strong from 11N southward from 76W westward. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 26/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.17 in Curacao, and 0.06 in Guadeloupe.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - A weak cold front will cross the northern Gulf tonight...stall by Fri morning...then quickly dissipate as broad high pressure to the north rapidly slides eastward. Return flow associated with the ridge will then establish across the basin through Sun night. A new strong ridge anchored by a high N of 44N will tighten the pressure gradient in the SE basin to support fresh to strong winds Sun night through Mon night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Broad high pressure moving from the E USA to Atlantic waters will cause winds and seas over the central and eastern Caribbean to increase Fri night through Mon night. Locally strong trades will persist across the tropical Atlantic waters through this afternoon.
3a. 15-25 kt NE surface flow is over the central and western Caribbean. Scattered showers are along the coasts of Costa Rica, and W Panama. The eastern Caribbean has 15-20 kt tradewinds with isolated moderate convection E of 70W. In the upper levels, northern upper level flow is over the NW Caribbean with strong subsidence. An upper level low is centered over Puerto Rico with upper level moisture over the eastern Caribbean. Expect over the next 24 hours for precipitation to spread to the central, and SW Caribbean.
