The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A weak high pressure ridge extending along 30N will lift N...and merge with another area of high pressure N of the area Mon. An upper level low across the NW Gulf will support showers and thunderstorms over the N central Gulf through mid week. Weak low pressure over the SE Gulf will weaken to a trough as it reaches the S central Gulf tonight.
2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave over the W Caribbean will move inland over Central America this morning. Elongated low pressure E of the area near 21N49W will move N-NW the next few days...and generate E swell that will reach the tropical N Atlantic waters mainly N of 14N tonight then spread W and NW across the remaining Atlantic waters N of 16N through Thu.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 24N49W 21N49W 10N52W. A 1007 mb low pressure center is along the wave near 21N. Convective precipitation: scattered to numerous strong from 20N to 25N between 45W and 50W, and from 10N to 13N between 50W and 54W. The current high seas forecast consists of gale-force winds from 20N to 23.5N between 45W and 51W, and sea heights ranging from 10 feet to 15 feet.
3b. Visible satellite images show that the circulation associated with the low pressure system located about 695 nm east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands is becoming better defined. Gale force winds are already associated with this system, and if the current development trend continues, a tropical storm could form later today. Due to this, the system has a high chance of tropical formation within the next 48 hours as it moves northwestward or north-northwestward at 10 to 15 kt over the central Atlantic Ocean.
4...Tropical Waves...
4a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 20W/21W. The wave has been re-positioned in order to agree with current satellite imagery. Convective precipitation: Scattered strong from 11N to 17N between Africa and 20W. Isolated to widely scattered moderate from 06N to 11N between Africa and 20W.
4b. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 30W/31W from 13N southward. Convective precipitation: Isolated moderate from 06N to 14N between 28W and 32W.
4c. A W Caribbean Sea tropical wave is along 86W, from 20N southward. The wave cuts through Honduras, Nicaragua, and the northwestern coastal sections of Costa Rica. Convective precipitation: Isolated moderate from 18N southward from 83W westward.
