The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - High pressure will remain centered over the SE USA through Thu supporting moderate to fresh E to SE winds across the basin. The high will move E over the Atlantic with diminishing winds late week as a weak cold front enters the NW Gulf. A trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each afternoon and weaken as it moves WNW over water each night. Periods of convection over the W Gulf will shift to the N Gulf mid week before shifting to the NE Gulf late this week.
2. Caribbean - Moderate to fresh trade winds will persist across the basin through Thu night as broad low pressure prevails over the western Atlantic and high pressure is centered over the SE USA. NE winds are expected to pulse to fresh to strong each night S of Hispaniola...and the approach to the Windward Passage through Thu night.
