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.
