The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A cold front extending from SE Louisiana to inland far NE Mexico will race eastward...reaching from Tampa Bay, FL to the SW Gulf this evening...then move across the Straits of Florida Sat night. Strong NW to N Winds and building seas are expected behind the front off the coast of Tamaulipas and Veracruz, Mexico today...reaching minimal gale force this afternoon and tonight. High pressure will build in the wake of the front Sun and prevail through Tue night.
2. Caribbean Sea - A broad area of low pressure will persist across the SW Caribbean through early Sat. Northerly swell in the tropical N Atlantic will gradually decay through Sun...while mixed NE and E swell in the eastern Caribbean will decay through Sat. A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Sat night...then stall from the Windward Passage to eastern Honduras Sun...and slowly dissipate early next week. A weak surface trough from eastern Jamaica SW to inland northern Nicaragua will be absorbed by the cold front.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. A broad area of low pressure is centered east of the northern Bahamas. The central pressure of the low is 1001 mb and is located near 28N73W. Scattered moderate convection and isolated tstms are within 150 nm from the low center. To the east of the low center, a rainband supported by a diffluent environment aloft generates scattered showers and tstms from 20N to 36N between 60W and 70W. Showers also continue across Hispaniola, mainly across Dominican Republic, with GOES QPE imagery showing there accumulations of up to 2 inches over the last 6 hours. There is still a medium chance for this system to become a subtropical or tropical cyclone before it merges with an approaching cold front well offshore of the United States east coast tonight. A tight pressure gradient between a cold front and high pressure building in its wake will generate gale force winds in the Gulf of Mexico tonight. The front is expected to be along 29N82W to 26N90W to 19N95W and the gale winds from 21N to 24N west of 96W with seas to 8 ft. These conditions are forecast through Saturday.
4. ...Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave is in the central Atlantic extending from 06N to 16N with axis near 44W, moving W at 15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave is in a region of unfavorable to neutral deep layer wind shear. Furthermore, CIRA LPW imagery from surface to 850 mb show pockets of dry air in the wave environment while water vapor imagery show dry air in the middle to upper levels. These factors are limiting the convection to scattered showers from 06N to 14N between 37W and 53W.
