The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. A weak stationary front in the northern Gulf of Mexico west of 85W will dissipate Fri. Return flow is forecast to strengthen briefly on Fri before diminishing again late Fri and Sat. The next cold front will enter the northern Gulf Sat and move SE over the Gulf E of 90W Sun and Mon as low pressure develops off the SE coast of U.S. enhancing the northerly flow over eastern Gulf. Fresh SE winds are expected in the western Gulf Mon night through Tue night.
2. High pressure N of the area will support fresh to strong trade winds over the south-central Caribbean through Sat night... but the areal coverage of the winds will gradually decrease. Fresh to strong E-SE winds will prevail in the Gulf of Honduras through Sat. Winds are forecast to diminish across the basin Sun and Mon as high pressure N of the area shifts E and weakens.
