The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - Ridging from the western Atlantic to the central Gulf will maintain generally light to moderate winds through early next week. Evening troughing off the W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula will be enhanced by the passage of the northern portion of a tropical wave over the SW Gulf early in the week. High pressure building over the SE U.S. will enhance easterly winds over the SE Gulf by mid week.
2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave over the W Caribbean along 80W will move into Central America late Sun. A broad and strong tropical wave will enter the E Caribbean today...cross the central Caribbean through Tue...and exit the W Caribbean through Thu. frequent squalls...strong winds...and seas to 12 ft will accompany this tropical wave as it moves across the Atlantic to the E Caribbean...mainly N of 15N. A third tropical wave will approach the Windward and Leeward Islands by mid week.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. Post-tropical cyclone Hermine is centered near 37.0N 70.0W at 04/1200 UTC, or about 260 nm to the south-southeast of the eastern tip of Long Island, and about 255 nm to the east- southeast of Ocean City, Maryland. The cyclone is moving east- northeastward 10 knots. Estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 55 kt with gusts to 65 kt. Scattered moderate convection is present mainly northeast of the center from 36N to 42N between 58W and 70W.
4. ...Tropical Waves...
4a. A tropical wave is over the eastern Atlc extending from 10N to 21N with axis near 32W, moving west at 10 kt within the last 24 hours. A 1011 mb center of low pressure is associated with the wave and is located near 18N32W, which is expected to move NW to 20N36W within the next 24 hours. The wave is mainly within a favorable deep layer wind shear from 10N to 20N, however intrusion of Saharan dry air and dust in the wave environment is hindering deep convection north of 15N. Moist air associated with the monsoon trough and a diffluent environment aloft support scattered moderate convection from 07N to 13N between 25W and 40W.
4b. A tropical wave is over the Atlantic waters east of the Lesser Antilles extending from 09N to 19N with axis near 57W, moving west at 15-20 kt within the last 24 hours. A 1009 mb center of low pressure is associated with the wave and is located near 14N57W, which is expected to dissipate within the next 24 hours. The wave has been entering a region of unfavorable deep layer wind shear and convection around the low looks disorganized. Scattered moderate to isolated strong showers are from 12N to 19N between 52W and 65W.
4c. A tropical wave is over the W Caribbean extending from 09N to 19N with axis near 82W, moving at 15 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is in a favorable deep layer wind shear environment that along with diffluent flow aloft support isolated heavy showers within 120 nm either side of the wave axis.
