The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - High pressure will remain in place over the northern Gulf through this weekend. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds will generally prevail. A trough will move NW from the Yucatan Peninsula each evening...then dissipate over the SW Gulf waters during the morning hours. Winds associated with the trough will become fresh to strong tonight...then fresh thu night through Mon night.
2. Caribbean Sea - The difference in pres between the Atlantic ridge and low pressure over Colombia will maintain fresh to strong trades across the central and SW Caribbean through early next week. Winds will be strongest along the coast of Colombia during the overnight hours. A tropical wave will pass 55W Thu and reach the central Caribbean Sat and then the SW Caribbean Sun.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave in the east Tropical Atlantic is analyzed along 22W/23W from 6N-20N moving west near 15 kt over the past 12 hours. Wave precedes the 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and the surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. No associated deep convection.
4b. Tropical wave in the Tropical Atlantic extends along 49W/50W from 5N-16N moving west-southwest near 10 kt over the past 24 hours. Wave coincides with a 700 mb trough south of 13N as depicted in the global models and is embedded within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Clusters of scattered moderate to isolated strong convection are from 10N-13N between 45W-51W.
