The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A stationary front will linger across the northern Gulf coast through Sat. A trough will move westward off the Yucatan Peninsula into the SW Gulf each evening before dissipating each morning. High pressure will prevail elsewhere over the Gulf into the middle of next week.
2. Caribbean Sea - Ridging over the SW N Atlantic combined with low pressure over N Colombia will support fresh to strong trades across the majority of the central Caribbean through next week. Minimal gale force winds will continue across S central Caribbean and Gulf of Venezuela until sunrise. Moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. TROPICAL WAVES...
4a. Tropical wave extends from 06N20W to 15N26W moving W at 15 kt. Examining long-term METEOSAT satellite imagery and Hovmoller diagrams...the wave has tracked across Africa the past few days with persistent active convection. However...while energy continues moving westward...the wave exhibits a lack of convection at this time.
4b. Tropical wave extends from 05N36W to 13N40W moving W at 15 kt. The wave coincides with broad 700 mb troughing between 34W-43W and remains embedded within Saharan dust north of the Monsoon Trough region. As a result...widely scattered moderate convection is confined to 03N-08N between 33W-42W.
4c. Tropical wave extends from 03N56W to 12N54W moving W at 20 kt. This wave is likely the southern vorticity maximum that lagged slowly behind the tropical wave to the west currently along 66W. This piece of energy coincides with subtle 700 mb troughing and a maximum in 850 mb relative vorticity in the vicinity of 10N55W with widely scattered moderate convection from 08N-15N between 54W-59W.
4d. Tropical wave extends from 05N66W to 16N65W moving W at 20 kt. This wave is the northern vorticity maximum that moved well west of the tropical wave currently along 55W. The more dominate feature the last few days...it coincides with 700 mb troughing over the eastern Caribbean Sea between 61W-70W. Scattered moderate convection is from 16N-19N between 61W-67W.
4e. Tropical wave extends from 07N78W to 15N82W moving W at 20 kt. The wave continues moving within the southern periphery of a mid- level ridge anchored to the north with axis along 23N/24N. Scattered moderate to strong convection is across northern Colombia...Panama...and Costa Rica S of 11N between 73W-87W.
