The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A cold front will quickly move across the northern Gulf of Mexico Fri and Fri night followed by weak high pressure that settles in over the central portion by Sat night. The high will then shift to the eastern Gulf by Mon with SE moderate return flow setting up over much of the western waters. A diurnal trough will continue to form over the Yucatan Peninsula during the evenings... and shift westward across the SW Gulf in the overnight and morning hours while weakening.
2. Fresh to strong winds near the NW coast of Colombia will continue to pulse through Fri night. Otherwise...mainly moderate trades will prevail increasing to fresh to strong across the central Caribbean this weekend...spreading westward by early next week as strong central Atlantic high pressure builds westward.
