The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Gulf of Mexico - A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening and dissipate across the SW Gulf each morning. Otherwise...high pressure will prevail across the area through Wednesday. A strong tropical wave will move into the southern Gulf waters Thursday.
2. Caribbean Sea - A fast moving tropical wave over the tropical N Atlantic waters has brought fresh to strong winds and building seas N of 15N E of the Leeward Islands. These conditions will shift across the NE Caribbean islands on Sun... then across the N central islands on Mon. Winds and seas will increase behind the tropical wave over the central Caribbean Tuesday and spread westward into the W Caribbean Wed and Thu.

Fig. 3 -  5 day Tropical Weather Outlook

ple of days, but the best chance for tropical cyclone formation is likely to be by the early to middle part of next week when the wave reaches the western Caribbean Sea. This system is expected to bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today. Shower and thunderstorm activity should spread westward across the eastern Caribbean Sea and Hispaniola by tonight and on Monday. All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent

3.2. Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered (96L) about 650 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde islands has changed little in organization. This system is moving westward at 10 to 15 mph, and development, if any, should be slow to occur due to unfavorable upper-level winds.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening and dissipate across the SW Gulf each morning. Otherwise...high pressure will prevail across the Gulf waters through the period.
2. Caribbean Sea - The combination of high pressure N of the area and lower pres over S America will maintain fresh to strong trades across the central Caribbean. A fast moving tropical wave will reach the tropical N Atlanticc waters early Saturday with strong NE-E winds spreading W across the tropical waters N of 15N E of the Leeward Islands. These conditions will shift across the NE Caribbean Islands on Sun and across the N central islands on Mon.
3. Tropical Outlook
3.1. A tropical wave located about 850 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is moving westward at 25 to 30 mph. Associated shower activity is poorly organized, and given the fast motion of the system any development should be slow to occur. Regardless of development, this system will likely bring showers and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the eastern Caribbean Sea during the weekend. By the middle of next week, the disturbance is expected to be in the W Caribbean Sea, where conditions could become more conducive for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent
3.2. Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered a couple of hundred miles south-southwest of Cabo Verde continues to show signs of organization. Although this system does not have a well-defined circulation at this time, some development is still possible during the next day or two before the disturbance encounters a less favorable environment over the central tropical Atlantic early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - High pressure will prevail across the Gulf waters through the period. A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening and dissipate across the SW Gulf each morning.
2. Caribbean Sea - The combination of high pressure N of the area and lower pres over the SW Caribbean Sea will maintain fresh to strong trades for much of the central Caribbean until tonight. Winds will decrease slightly on Sat and Sun as the ridge to the N weakens. a tropical wave will enter the tropical N Atlantic region tonight...then move W across the Caribbean Sat through Tue with increasing winds and building seas.
3. Tropical Outlook
3.1. A tropical wave located located about 1200 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is moving rapidly westward. Given the fast motion of the system, development, if any, will be slow to occur. However, this system will likely bring showers and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands during the weekend, and then, the activity should spread westward across the Caribbean Sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent
3.2. Shower activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered a couple of hundred miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands has increased during the past several hours, but the overall organization has changed little. This system has some potential for development during the next day or two, before the disturbance encounters a less favorable environment over the central tropical Atlantic next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the far east Tropical Atlantic with axis that extends from 19N20.5W to a 1010 mb low near 11N21W. These features are moving west at about 10 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides well with a low to mid level trough extending northward through the Cabo Verde Islands. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is evident within 90 nm of the center. Despite increased convection, the earlier microwave imagery showed the low level structure is still fairly weak at this time.
4b. A tropical wave is moving over the central Tropical Atlantic with axis from 19N41W to 10N41W, moving west at 15 to 20 kt over the past 24 hours. The tropical wave appears to have a high amplitude in the lower to mid levels of the atmosphere based on GOES high density winds with copious deep layer moisture in SSMI Total Precipitation Water Vapor Imagery. Recent scatterometer data also indicates associated surface troughing with an area of fresh trades on the northern portion of the surface trough from 19N to 15N between 40W and 45W. Scattered moderate convection is also noted with this tropical wave along the axis from 15N to 13N between 40W and 43W.
4c. A tropical wave is over western Tropical Atlantic from 17N54W to 09N53W, moving west 10 to 15 kt over the past 24 hours. This is a fairly weak and low amplitude tropical wave with very limited moisture. It is entering an area with fairly dry mid to upper levels and westerly shear. If the tropical wave persists through this area it will have little influence on the sensible weather for the next several days as it tracks west.
4d. A tropical wave is moving through the Gulf of Honduras, reaching from the western tip of Cuba through central Honduras near 16N85W. Scattered moderate convection is noted across the northwest Caribbean west of 85W.
5...ITCZ/Monsoon Trough... The Monsoon Trough extends across North Africa into the east Tropical Atlantic near 20N16W to 1010 mb low near 11N21W to 10N45W. The ITCZ begins from that point and continues to 08N55W. Aside from the convection related to the tropical waves and surface lows, scattered moderate convection is noted within 120 nm north of the monsoon trough between 45W and 50W.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Gulf of Mexico - High pressure will prevail over the Gulf waters through the period. A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening and dissipate over the SW Gulf each morning.
2. Caribbean Sea - The combination of high pressure NE of the area and lower pres over the SW Caribbean Sea will maintain fresh to strong trades over much of the central Caribbean through Fri. Winds and seas will decrease slightly on Sat and Sun...then increase once again on Mon and Tue. A tropical wave will exit the W Caribbean tonight. Another tropical wave will reach the E Caribbean on Sat.
3. A tropical wave accompanied by a broad low pressure system is producing a large area of cloudiness and disorganized shower activity several hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. Some development of this system is possible during the next few days while it moves westward or west-northwestward at about 15 mph. However, environmental conditions are expected to become less conducive for development early next week when the system is over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. 

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent 

* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the east Atlantic east of the Cape Verde Islands. The wave extends from 07N-15N with axis near 19W, moving W at 5 kt within the last 18 hours. The wave is associated with a 1011 mb low located near 10N19W and is being engulfed by Saharan dry air and dust, which have significantly reduced the convection associated with it. The CIRA LPW imagery show dry air from the surface to 850 mb in the northern wave environment, which is devoid of convection. A cluster of heavy showers is associated with the center of low pressure and extends from 08N-11N between 18W and 21W. Isolated showers are elsewhere from 07N-12N E of 23W. Some development of this system is possible during the next few days while it moves W or W-NW.
4b.A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic extending from 10N-20N with axis near 35W, moving at 15 kt within the last 24 hours. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust in the wave environment. CIRA LPW imagery from the surface to 850 mb confirms dry air intrusion in the wave environment, which is keeping the wave devoid of convection.
4c. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic from 08N-17N with axis near 46W, moving west at 15 kt within the last 24 hours. CIRA LPW imagery show mainly dry air from the surface to 850 mb associated with this wave. The dry air is due to the presence of abundant Saharan dry air and dust, which continue to hinder convection at the time.
4d. A tropical wave is in the W Caribbean from 12N-22N with axis near 81W, moving west at 25 kt within the last 24 hours. Aloft, water vapor imagery show strong dry subsidence across most of the SW Caribbean, which is inhibiting convection in that region of the wave. However, shallow moisture in the NW Caribbean and divergent flow aloft support isolated showers and tstms N of 17N W of 79W.
5. ...ITCZ/Monsoon Trough... The Monsoon Trough extends across Africa into the east Tropical Atlantic near 14N17W and continues to 10N30W to 09N40W to 08N48W where the ITCZ begins and continues to Venezuela near 08N60W. Aside from the convection related to the tropical waves, numerous heavy showers are from 06N-11N between 26W and 38W.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A mid to upper level low over the NW Gulf will continue to bring unsettled weather through tonight. High pressure will build westward from the Atlantic across the U.S. Gulf coastal plain through the remainder of the week and the upcoming weekend. A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening with locally fresh NE winds.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean through the upcoming weekend. A tropical wave in the E Caribbean will move across the central Caribbean Wed and Wed night...and the W Caribbean Thu and Thu night before moving inland Central America late Thu night. Another tropical wave will reach the tropical N Atlantic late Fri night and the E Caribbean Sat and Sat night...then the central Caribbean Sun night.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the E Atlantic from 09N-19N with axis near 27W, moving at 15 kt within the last 24 hours. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust in the northern wave environment. Moderate moist air from surface to 850 mb and divergent flow in the middle to upper levels support scattered moderate convection from 07N-11N between 22W and 30W.
4b. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic from 09N-17N with axis near 40W, moving west at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. CIRA LPW imagery show mainly dry air from the surface to 850 mb associated with this wave. The dry air is due to the presence of abundant Saharan dry air and dust, which is hindering convection at the time.
4c. A tropical wave is in the central Caribbean from 11N-21N with axis near 69W, moving west at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is associated with shallow moisture according to CIRA LPW imagery. Aloft, water vapor imagery show strong subsidence across the central-southern Caribbean, which is inhibiting convection in that region at the time. However, the wave supports scattered to isolated showers over Hispaniola and its coastal waters.
5. ITCZ/Monsoon Trough... The Monsoon Trough extends across Africa into the east Tropical Atlantic near 18N16W to 11N24W to 10N34W to 08N45W. The ITCZ begins near 08N45W and continues to the coast of Guyana near 06N57W. Aside from the convection related to the tropical wave in the east Atlantic, heavy showers and tstms are from 06N-19N E of 19W. Scattered showers are from 02N-08N between 30W and 44W.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Gulf of Mexico - An upper level low over the N central Gulf will continue to enhance convection across the northern and central Gulf through Tue night. High pressure ridging over the Atlantic will build westward across the northern Gulf Tue night through Sat night. A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening with locally fresh NE winds.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean through the remainder of the week and into the upcoming weekend. A tropical wave will move from the tropical N Atlantic to across the Lesser Antilles late tonight into early Tue...reaching the central Caribbean Wed... and the W Caribbean Thu. A second wave will reach the tropical N Atlantic Fri night...then the E Caribbean Sat and Sat night.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a.A tropical wave is in the eastern Atlantic from 09N-19N with axis near 21W, forecast to move at 15 kt within the next 24 hours. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust engulfing the northern wave environment. A surge of moderate moist air from surface to 850 mb and divergent flow in the middle to upper levels support a cluster of moderate to strong convection from 10N-12N between 18W and 23W.
4b. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic from 08N-18N with axis near 33W, moving west at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. CIRA LPW imagery show moderate moist from the surface to 850 mb associated with this wave and global model guidance show a low at 700 mb coinciding with the wave axis location. Even with a divergent environment at the upper levels, the presence of Saharan dry air and dust seems to hinder convection at the time.
4c. A tropical wave is in the far eastern Caribbean from 10N-22N with axis near 62W, moving west at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is associated with shallow moisture, which is is supporting scattered showers and tstms across the Virgin Islands, eastern Puerto Rico and adjacent waters. Isolated showers are possible across the Lesser Antilles.
5.ITCZ/Monsoon Trough... The Monsoon Trough begins west of a tropical wave near 12N22W and continues to 11N33W to 08N46W. The ITCZ begins near 08N46W and continues to 08N58W. Besides the convection associated with the tropical waves, scattered moderate convection is from 03N-10N between 24W and 44W.

Fig 1 - Today's Wind and Weather Forecast

Fig 2 - 3 Day Cloud Cover-Rain Forecast

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - An upper level low will support active convection across the Gulf through Tue. High pressure ridging will then build in from the Atlantic for the remainder of the week. A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening with locally fresh NE winds.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean through the week. A tropical wave is expected to enter the tropical N Atlantic Mon... then move across the Lesser Antilles Mon night...then over the central Caribbean Tue through Wed...and then the W Caribbean Thu and Fri.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the eastern Atlantic from 06N-17N with axis near 29W, moving W at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is associated with a 1012 mb low centered near 12N29W. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust intrusion into the wave environment, which is limiting the convection to scattered moderate S of the low center from 06N-10N between 23W and 33W.
4b.A tropical wave is in the west Atlantic from 07N-21N with axis near 54W, moving at 30 kt within the last 24 hours. CIRA LPW from the surface to 850 mb show mostly dry air in the wave environment. Meteosat composite imagery show Saharan dry air and dust in the wave environment, which is hindering convection at the time.
4c. A tropical wave is in the Bay of Campeche S of 20N with axis near 94W, moving west at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. A cluster of heavy showers and scattered tstms over southern Mexico extends to the Bay of Campeche S of 19N between 92W and 95W.
5. ITCZ/Monsoon Trough...
The Monsoon Trough extends across Africa into the east Tropical Atlantic near 20N16W and then continues along 14N22W to a 1012 mb low near 12N29W to 07N36W to 07N43W.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A high pressure ridge will extend from the W Atlantic over the northern Gulf through the forecast period. A trough will move off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula each evening with locally fresh NE winds.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressuree NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean the next several days. A tropical wave extending from the NW Caribbean to across Central America will shift W of the area by early Sun. A tropical wave is expected to enter our E portion of the tropical N Atlantic Mon...crossing the Lesser Antilles early Tue then moving through the central Caribbean Wed and Thu.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic from 05N-20N with axis near 41W, moving west at 15 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave coincides with a well defined 700 mb trough depicted in global models and is embedded in a dry air environment from the surface to 850 mb as indicated by the CIRA Layer Precipitable Water imagery. No convection is associated with the wave due in part to the presence of Saharan dry air and dust.
4b. A tropical wave is in the Yucatan Peninsula and north Central America from 12N to 21N with axis near 89W, moving W at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. SSMI TPW imagery show abundant moderate moisture in the wave low to mid level environment. Aloft, divergent flow support scattered to isolated showers over the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador as well as the Gulf of Honduras.
4c. A tropical wave is over the western Bay of Campeche south of 22N with axis near 96W, moving west at 15 kt within the last 24 hours. No convection is associated with the wave at the time.
5.ITCZ/Monsoon Trough...
The Monsoon Trough extends across Africa into the east Tropical Atlantic near 21N16W and continues to 12N26W to 07N40W. The ITCZ begins near 07N42W and continues to 06N55W. Scattered moderate convection is from 06N to 13N E of 30W and from 04N to 08N between 30W and 40W.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Gulf of Mexico - A weak high pressure ridge will extend from the W Atlantic across the northern Gulf through the forecast period. A trough will exit the W coast of the Yucatan each night with locally fresh NE winds.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean the next several days. A tropical wave in the W Caribbean will move across Central America late tonight through Sun.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is in the east Tropical Atlantic with axis extending from 20N34W to 10N33W, moving west near 15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a well defined 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Despite this, no associated deep convection is observed at this time as Saharan dust dominates the area.
4b. A tropical wave is moving across western Caribbean with axis from 20N79W to 10N79W, moving west at 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave is within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Scattered moderate convection is observed to the west of the wave's axis enhanced by the presence of an upper-level inverted trough.
4c. A tropical wave is moving across the Yucatan Peninsula with axis from 21N90W to 12N90W, moving west near 10 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a weak 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models. Scattered moderate convection is observed with this wave affecting the western portion of the Yucatan Peninsula.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - Weak high pressure ridging will prevail across the northern Gulf through the upcoming weekend and early next week.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades in the S central Caribbean through Tue. A tropical wave in the W Caribbean will move across Central America through Fri. A tropical wave in the Caribbean will cross the W Caribbean Fri night through Sat night.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is moving across the east Tropical Atlantic with axis that extends from 22N27W to 12N28W, moving west near 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a well defined 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models. Scattered moderate convection is observed in the vicinity of the southern portion of the wave but it is related to the presence of the Monsoon Trough. The wave itself is surrounded by Saharan dry air and dust which is inhibiting deep convection.
4b. A tropical wave is moving across the central Caribbean with axis extending from 19N73W to 11N73W, moving west near 20-25 kt over the past 24 hours. This wave coincides with a weak 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Isolated showers and thunderstorms prevail along the northern portion of the wave affecting western Hispaniola and adjacent waters between 71W-75W.
4c. A tropical wave is located across the west Caribbean with axis from 23N84W to 13N85W, moving west near 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a weak 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and is within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are observed north of 17N between 83W-86W.
