The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - A recurring surface trough will support fresh to occasionally strong NE to E winds along the NW coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and across the E Bay of Campeche each night. A surface high over the NE Gulf will shift SE to just W of Tampa Bay on Sat night...then shift slowly W reaching just S of the Mississippi Delta on Tue.
2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave along 75W will pass through the W Caribbean through Sat night. A second tropical wave will pass through the Windwards today...and continue W through the E Caribbean tonight through Sat night reaching the central Caribbean early next week. A tropical low in the E Atlantic will reach near 11N55W on Tue with conditions becoming favorable for tropical cyclone development in 3 to 5 days.
3. At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fiona was located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 42.7 West. Fiona is moving toward the west-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this general motion with some increase in forward speed is expected over the next couple of days. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Some weakening is forecast to begin this weekend. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave extends from a 1009 mb low near 10N28W to 18N28W, moving W at 15-20 kt within the last 24 hours. Intrusion of Saharan dry air and dust to the wave environment limits the convection to a cluster of heavy showers in the vicinity of the monsoon trough W of the low pressure center or from 07N-11N between 32W and 37W. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form early next week while the system moves westward across the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
4b. Tropical wave extends from 10N to 18N with axis near 60W, moving W at 20 kt within the last 24 hours. Meteosat enhanced imagery and TPW imagery show there is dry air in the wave environment. On the other hand, satellite derived data indicate the wave is in a region of unfavorable deep layer wind shear. Both the dry air and strong shear are hindering convection at the time.
4c. Tropical wave in the Caribbean extends from 11N-21N with axis near 74W, moving W at 20-25 kt within the last 24 hours. Shallow moisture accompanies this wave, which is in a region of mainly neutral to unfavorable deep layer wind shear. These factors are limiting the convection to isolated showers over Haiti and the Windward Passage.

2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave along 75W will pass through the W Caribbean through Sat night.
