The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A weak ridge will prevail across the northern Gulf waters through late in the week. The northern portion of a tropical wave will move W across the SW Gulf Fri and Sat.
2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave over the central Caribbean will move through the W Caribbean through Thu...reaching the Yucatan Peninsula early on Fri. Another tropical wave will pass 55W today...enter the E Caribbean Thu...the central Caribbean Fri...and the W Caribbean Sat.
3. ...Tropical Waves...
3a. A tropical wave is in the E Atlantic extending from 05N to 18N with axis near 24W, moving at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is in a region of mainly favorable deep layer wind shear and abundant low moisture from the surface to 850 mb as shown by CIRA LPW imagery. That environment along with diffluent flow aloft support scattered showers and tstms from 06N to 16N E of 26W.
3b. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic waters extending from 11N to 21N with axis near 53W. The wave has been repositioned from former position farther to the east, based on satellite, surface observations and latest global model guidance. Unfavorable deep layer wind shear and Saharan dry air and dust hinder convection at the time.
3c. A tropical wave is in the central Caribbean extending from 10N to 21N with axis near 72W, moving W at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. Abundant moisture in the northern wave environment along with favorable deep layer wind shear support scattered showers and isolated tstms from 16N to 23N between 68W and 74W.
