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
