The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A cold front extending from north Florida near 29N83W to 26N87W to 24N95W will stall across the central Gulf today through Sat...gradually dissipating Sun. High pressure will dominate the Gulf waters the remainder of the forecast period.
2. Caribbean Sea - Hurricane Matthew near 14.0N 69.9W 979 mb at 5 am EDT moving W at 12 kt. maximum sustained winds 80 kt gusts 105 kt. Matthew will move to 13.8N 71.2W Fri afternoon...to 13.7N 72.5W Fri night...to 13.9N 73.7W Sat afternoon...then to 14.5N 74.8W Sat night as it begins a turn to the NW and N... approaching E Cuba and the Windward Passage Mon evening...moving N of the area Tue. Matthew will continue to strengthen during the next few days as it moves west-northwest over the central Caribbean.
All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.
3. ...Tropical Waves...
3a. A tropical wave is in the E Atlantic extending from 8N to 18N with axis near 28W, moving west at 10 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave is in a region of favorable deep layer wind shear and in a region of middle to upper level diffluence. However, both the TPW imagery and Meteosat enhanced imagery show Saharan dry air mainly W of the wave axis, which is limiting the convection to scattered showers from 14N to 16N between 25W and 30W.
3b. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic extending from 7N to 17N with axis near 48W, moving west at 10-15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave is in a region of unfavorable deep layer wind shear and Saharan dry air is mainly W of its axis, which is limiting convection to scattered showers from 10N-20N between 39W and 47W.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A stationary front just offshore of Texas and Mexico will dissipate through this morning. Weak high pres in the E Gulf will prevail through Thu. A new cold front will push into the northern Gulf late Thu...becoming stationary from central Florida to the SW Gulf Fri...and dissipating through Sat.
2. Caribbean Sea - A weak tropical wave along 79W will cross the W Caribbean through Fri. A strong tropical low centered near 13N57W has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Gale force winds are expected to continue N of the low center...prior to the low becoming a tropical cyclone. Further intensification is possible through the remainder of the week and upcoming weekend in the eastern and central Caribbean.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 57W from 19N southward. A 1007 mb low pressure center is along the wave near 13N, about 150 nm to the east of Barbados. Convective precipitation: scattered to numerous strong from 12N to 15N between 55W and 59W, and from 11N to 13N between 60W and 63W. Isolated moderate elsewhere from 10N to 20N between 50W and 63W. The precipitation pattern continues to show signs of organization. It is likely that a tropical depression or a tropical storm may form later today if this weather system continues to become more organized. The system is moving westward to west-northwestward 15 to 20 mph, and it is expected to pass over the Windward Islands later today, and then move across the southeastern Caribbean Sea tonight and Thursday. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system again later this morning.  The chance of formation during the next 48 hours is high. Heavy rains and tropical-storm-force winds in squalls are expected to spread over the Windward Islands and sections of the southern Leeward Islands, beginning this morning, and continuing through tonight and early Thursday. All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.
4...Tropical Waves...
4a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 26W/27W from 17N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Convective precipitation: widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 07N to 10N between 24W and 30W. It is possible that the precipitation may be more related to the monsoon trough.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A trough with active convection S of 27N in the western Gulf will drift west and weaken through Wed night. A cold front pushing into the northern Gulf Thu will become stationary from central Florida to the SW Gulf Fri...then dissipate through Sat.
2. Caribbean Sea - A weak tropical wave along 72W will move across the W Caribbean through Fri. A strong tropical low centered near 12N52W is expected to become a tropical cyclone later today east of the Windward Islands. Gale force winds are expected north of the low center as it crosses the Lesser Antilles. Further intensification is expected in the eastern and central Caribbean Wed through Sat. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 51W from 17N southward. A 1008 mb low pressure center is along the wave near 11N. Convective precipitation: widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 11N to 17N between 48W and 55W. The precipitation pattern continues to become more organized. It is likely that a tropical depression or a tropical storm may form later today if this weather system continues to become more organized. The forecast movement is to the WNW-to-W about 20 mph. Please monitor the progress of this weather system if you have any interests that are in the eastern and central Caribbean Sea, including the northern coast of South America. Heavy rains and strong gusty winds, possibly to tropical storm force, are expected to spread across the Windward Islands and sections of the southern Lesser Antilles beginning tonight and continuing into Wednesday. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the disturbance this afternoon. The chance of formation during the next 48 hours is high. Gale wind conditions are forecast in 24 hours, within 120 NM N semicircle of a 1006 mb low pressure center near 13N57W, and sea heights are forecast to range from 10 feet to 13 feet. All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.
4. ...Tropical Waves...
4a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 21W/22W from 16N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Convective precipitation: Monsoon trough precipitation, isolated moderate to locally strong, is from 10N southward between 10W and 30W. A Caribbean Sea tropical wave is to the south of 19N, passing through the Mona Passage to 14N69W, and to 09N69W in NW Venezuela. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 10N to 20N between 60W and 70W. An upper level trough extends from an Atlantic Ocean 25N69W cyclonic circulation center, to Puerto Rico, into the Caribbean Sea, and toward Lake Maracaibo in NW Venezuela. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 20N southward between 60W and 70W. It is not easy to figure out which precipitation just is related to the tropical wave, and which precipitation is related only to the upper level trough.
All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.
