The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - An E to W ridge across the central Gulf will shift N this weekend and extend across the northern Gulf coast through the middle of next week. A thermal trough will move W off the Yucatan Peninsula each night accompanied by a fresh NE to E wind shift. Deep moisture will support showers and thunderstorms over the central and eastern Gulf the next several days.
2. Caribbean Sea - A surface trough over the E Caribbean will drift W tonight before dissipating. A tropical wave along 51W will cross the E Caribbean Sun...the central Caribbean Sun night and Mon...and W Caribbean Tue. Fresh to strong trades will develop over the central Caribbean on Sun and continue through the middle of next week.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave extends from 10N25W to 20N28W moving W at 10 kt. The wave coincides with a 700 mb low and associated troughing centered near 10N30W. No significant deep convection is occurring with the wave at this time.
4b. Tropical wave extends from 07N52W to 14N51W moving W at 10-15 kt. The wave coincides with subtle 700 mb troughing between 50W-56W and a maximum in 850 mb relative vorticity in the vicinity of the wave axis near 10N. Isolated moderate convection is from 08N-12N between 51W-54W.
4c. Tropical wave extends from 11N88W to 20N87W moving W at 15 kt. The wave coincides with 700 mb troughing between 85W-91W. Widely scattered moderate convection is from 16N-21N between 79W- 85W...and from 11N-16N between 87W-92W.
