The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - Strong high pressure N of the area will maintain fresh to locally strong NE winds across the SE Gulf waters through this evening. A cold front will move into the far NE Gulf waters early Fri and pass through the Straits of Florida late Sat.
2. Caribbean Sea - Fresh to strong NE winds across the N-Central and NW Caribbean will diminish by Thu. A surface trough over the Gulf of Honduras will drift S and merge into the monsoon trough across the far SW waters late in the week. A surface low S of Puerto Rico will weaken to a trough tonight and gradually become orientated N to S along 70W over the upcoming weekend.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.
3a. ...Special Feature...
The 24-hour forecast consists of GALE-force winds forecast in the Atlantic Ocean. A surface trough will have the position from 31N49W to a 1007 mb low pressure center near 25N51W, and the trough continuing to 18N62W. Expect southerly gale-force winds within 150 nm to the east of the 1007 mb low center, and sea heights ranging from 10 feet to 13 feet. 3b. ...The Caribbean Sea...
Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, from 16N northward between Puerto Rico and NW Cuba. This drier air is associated with the upper level trough that extends from the central Atlantic Ocean to Hispaniola. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the rest of the Caribbean Sea. An east-to-west oriented surface trough is from 16N to 17N from 78W westward to Belize. Convective precipitation: scattered strong in the NW corner of the area, between Honduras, Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula/Belize. Isolated moderate to locally strong from 13N to 17N between 70W and 80W.
