The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A cold front from Corpus Christi, TX to Tampico, Mexico will stretch from Palacios, TX to Mexico near 18N95W tonight...then gradually weaken as it slowly drifts E. The front will be reinvigorated Sat morning from SE Louisiana to 19N93W and then weaken again as it moves E...gradually dissipating from Destin, FL to 24N90W Sun morning.
2. A tight pressure gradient between strong high pressure located N of area and lower pres over the W Gulf of Mexico has brought strong to near gale force winds to much of the Caribbean. These winds will begin to diminish Fri night. Gale force winds are expected to continue along the S coast of the Dominican Republic through this morning and along the coast of Colombia through sunrise Sat. The area of high pressure N of the area will weaken by Fri and shift W before building eastward again over the weekend behind a cold front expected to move through the central Atlantic.
