The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Fresh NE winds expected along the NW coast of the W Yucatan Peninsula each evening through the period. A surface high will develop intermittently over the E Gulf of Mexico along a ridge from the Florida Straits to NE Texas through early Fri. A fresh to locally strong SW breeze will develop over the NE Gulf on Fri night ahead of a cold front moving into the NE waters on Sat. The front will reach along 28N before stalling late Sat night.
2. A tropical wave along 74W will pass through the SW Caribbean during mid week...and through the NW Caribbean late in the week. Strong easterly trades across the central Caribbean will expand NW to just S of Jamaica by early wed...and continue to pulse to strong through Thu. Strong E winds will develop again on Thu night across the Gulf of Honduras...and expand N to along 19N late Fri night and then continue through Sat night. A second tropical wave will pass through the tropical Atlantic waters E of Windwards today...enter the SE Caribbean tonight and reach the W Caribbean waters late in the week. Fresh to locally strong trades will develop E of Windwards on Sat night.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves
Tropical wave extends from 03N14W to 10N16W moving W at 15 kt. The wave coincides with a 700 mb low noted in global model fields in the vicinity of 04N16W and a maximum in 850 mb relative vorticity offshore of the African coast near 06N15W. Scattered moderate convection is from 01N-08N between 13W-25W.
Tropical wave extends from 05N40W to 12N35W moving W at 20 kt. The wave remains embedded within the ITCZ and coincides with broad 700 mb troughing between 33W-41W. No significant deep convection is associated with the wave at this time.
Tropical wave extends from 01N57W to 08N58W moving W at 20 kt. The wave remains low amplitude and its position is based on long- duration IR satellite imagery extrapolation and very subtle 700 mb global model indicated troughing on the southern periphery of a mid-level ridge anchored near 21N59W. Isolated moderate convection is from 02N-05N between 59W-62W.
Tropical wave extends from 05N73W to 15N73W moving W at 15 kt. The wave is located on the southwestern periphery of a 700 mb ridge anchored over the central Atlc in the vicinity of 21N59W. Scattered moderate convection is from 08N-12N between 72W-75W.
