The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - Weak high pressure ridging will prevail across the northern Gulf through the upcoming weekend and early next week.
2. Caribbean Sea - High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trades in the S central Caribbean through Tue. A tropical wave in the W Caribbean will move across Central America through Fri. A tropical wave in the Caribbean will cross the W Caribbean Fri night through Sat night.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is moving across the east Tropical Atlantic with axis that extends from 22N27W to 12N28W, moving west near 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a well defined 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models. Scattered moderate convection is observed in the vicinity of the southern portion of the wave but it is related to the presence of the Monsoon Trough. The wave itself is surrounded by Saharan dry air and dust which is inhibiting deep convection.
4b. A tropical wave is moving across the central Caribbean with axis extending from 19N73W to 11N73W, moving west near 20-25 kt over the past 24 hours. This wave coincides with a weak 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Isolated showers and thunderstorms prevail along the northern portion of the wave affecting western Hispaniola and adjacent waters between 71W-75W.
4c. A tropical wave is located across the west Caribbean with axis from 23N84W to 13N85W, moving west near 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave coincides with a weak 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and is within a surge of moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are observed north of 17N between 83W-86W.
