The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A low to mid level trough will persist across the NE and N central waters through mid-week accompanied by tstms. A trough will develop over the Yucatan during the late afternoon each day...moving offshore into the SW Gulf each night. Otherwise a ridge will meander from the SE Gulf to the NE Texas coast through the week.
2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave along the E Yucatan coast will move W of the area tonight. A tropical wave along 80W will reach the NW Caribbean and Central America late tonight. A third tropical wave E of area along 48W will reach along 55W on Tue... pass through the E Caribbean on Wed through Thu...then through the W Caribbean on Fri.
3. Disorganized cloudiness and showers located a few hundred miles northeast of the Bahamas are associated with a mid-level trough of low pressure. There are no signs of a surface circulation, and development of this system has become unlikely as the trough moves generally northward off of the coast of the southeastern United States.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent
