The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A high pressure ridge will prevail along 28N through Fri. A tropical wave will move across the SW Gulf Mon night and Tue.
2. Caribbean Sea - A persistent ridge over the western Atlc will support fresh trades over much of the region through Fri. A Tropical wave in the W Caribbean along 77W will cross into Central America Mon. Winds will reach minimal gale force in the S central Caribbean early Mon. A tropical wave along 47W will reach 55W Mon morning and move into the E Caribbean early Tue.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Special Features... Near gale to gale force winds are expected to develop along the coast of Colombia beginning 04/0600 UTC and persist for 9 hours until late Monday morning. These winds will be induced by the tight pressure gradient generated between a SW North Atlc surface ridge and the lower pressure over the South American continent combined with a tropical wave that will move across the area overnight into Monday.
5. Tropical Waves...
5a. Tropical wave extends from 08N26W to 15N23W moving W at 15 kt. The wave coincides with broad and elongated 700 mb troughing extending from over Dakar Senegal SW to near 06N32W. No significant deep convection is occurring with the wave at this time.
5b. Tropical wave extends from 07N45W to 17N43W moving W at 15 kt. The wave remains embedded within the ITCZ with a 1014 mb low centered along the wave axis near 11N. The surface low coincides with 700 mb troughing between 42W-50W and 850 mb relative vorticity focused near the low. Widely scattered moderate convection is from 10N-18N between 42W-51W. 5c. Tropical wave extends from 09N75W to 19N74W moving W at 15-20 kt. This wave coincides with subtle 700 mb troughing between 70W-80W on the southern periphery of a mid-level ridge anchored over the SW North Atlc near 28N69W. Scattered moderate convection is from 16N-19N between 69W-72W...and from 19N-23N between 73W-78W. The northwestern area of convection continues to be enhanced further by an upper level low centered over eastern Cuba near 21N78W. Additional scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is across inland portions northern Colombia and portions of the SW Caribbean Sea waters from 05N-11N between 72W-80W.
5d. Tropical wave extends from 07N84W to 16N84W moving W at 15-20 kt. The coincides with 700 mb troughing between 85W-88W. Scattered moderate convection is from 04N-15N between 82W-86W.
