The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - An elongated trough extends from the Florida Panhandle SW to S Texas coastal waters and continues to produce a large area of showers and isolated tstms. The trough will shift slowly NW and inland through Sat. Otherwise...weak high pressure will develop over NE portions and drift W into the N central Gulf through Tue to maintain a weak pressure pattern.
2. Caribbean Sea - Very weak high pressure over the W Atlantic and NE to SW trough from central Atlantic to NE Caribbean will maintain light to moderate winds and seas across area through the period. NE swell from T.S. Karl will prevail across the tropical N Atlantic waters early Mon through Tue. Karl is forecast to approach N portions of the tropical N Atlantic waters late Mon or early Tue.
3....Special Features...
3a. The center of Tropical Storm Julia at 16/0900 UTC is near 31.1N 76.4W. Julia is moving southeastward, or 135 degrees, 4 knots. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb. The maximum sustained wind speeds are 35 knots with gusts to 45 knots. Convective precipitation: scattered strong within 240 nm of the center in the NE semicircle.
3b. The center of Tropical Storm Ian at 16/0900 UTC is near 45.2N 40.8W. Ian is moving northeastward, or 40 degrees, 42 knots. The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb. The maximum sustained wind speeds are 50 knots with gusts to 60 knots. Convective precipitation: scattered moderate to isolated strong within 240 nm of the center in the N semicircle. A surface trough is along 27N53W 20N56W 15N60W. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate to locally strong within 30 nm to 60 nm on either side of the trough.
3c. The center of Tropical Storm Karl at 16/0900 UTC is near 18.3N 33.4W. Karl is moving westward, or 280 degrees, 11 knots. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb. The maximum sustained wind speeds are 40 knots with gusts to 50 knots. Convective precipitation: numerous strong within 240 nm of the center in the NE quadrant. 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. A tropical wave is along 14W/15W from 20N southward, inland, in Africa. Convective precipitation: widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 08N to 12N between Africa and 20W. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 50W from 20N southward, moving westward 15 knot. An upper level Atlantic Ocean trough is along 27N50W 17N51W, to the coast of Guyana near 07N58W. Convective precipitation: Isolated moderate within 240 nm on either side of 27N49W 16N50W 06N56W.
