The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A tropical wave over the W Caribbean along 86W will move inland over the Yucatan Peninsula late this afternoon...and across the Bay of Campeche, Mexico Sat through Mon with possible low pressure forming along the wave near the coast of Mexico. A weak ridge from the Straits of Florida to near 26N89W will change little through Sat night. A weak cold front will move into the NE Gulf waters on Sat...and stall from near Tampa Bay, FL to the Mississippi Delta Sun then dissipate by Mon.
2. A tropical wave along 86W will move inland the Yucatan Peninsula late this afternoon. Minimal gale force winds near the coast of Colombia are forecast to diminish by early this afternoon. Elsewhere...fresh to strong easterly trades will continue across the central Caribbean through the forecast period. Expect fresh to strong easterly winds across the Gulf of Honduras each night through Sun night. Another tropical wave will move across across the tropical N Atlc waters zones through early on Sat...then across the eastern Caribbean late Sat into Sun...and across the central Caribbean late Sun through Mon night while weakening.
3. A tropical wave located near the Yucatan Peninsula is producing disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms from the northwestern Caribbean Sea through southeastern Mexico. Development, if any, of this disturbance should be slow to occur due to proximity to land while it moves west-northwestward at about 10 mph over the Bay of Campeche and southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent
