The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.
2. Gulf of Mexico - A stationary front lingers in the SW gulf reaching from the Straits of Florida to the central Gulf near 23N90W to 1013 mb low pressure in the SW Gulf near 20N93.5W. 30 kt NW-N flow offshore of Veracruz, Mexico is forecast to diminish to fresh to strong by Mon evening then diminish further Tue evening. The SW Gulf stationary front and low will dissipate by Tue. Meanwhile the tail end of a cold front extends from northern Florida into the far NE Gulf. This cold front is forecast to move S and extend from the Straits of Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula Tue then push E to the Atlantic by Wed. High pressuure will build over the NW Gulf Wed then move E to the NE Gulf Thu. Southerly return flow will begin to dominate the entire Gulf waters by Fri.
3. Caribbean Sea - Mainly moderate to locally fresh trades will prevail across the basin. Strong breeze will be over the Windward Passage through Mon night. A weak cold front will move into the NW Caribbean late Tue night and stall from central Cuba to Honduras Thu. High pressure will build behind front Thu and Fri and produce fresh to strong winds across Caribbean NW of front.
Broad low pressure is expected to develop across the SW Caribbean Wed through Thu. This system has the potential for further development. 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.
3a. An elongated upper ridge extends from east to west anchored near 15N78W and extends to over the Gulf of Mexico and the west Atlantic. At the surface is a surface trough that extends from 18N80W along 14N81W to 11N81W generating scattered to numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms from 11N-17N between 76W- 83W. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are south of 11N between Colombia to Costa Rica and within 60 nm along the south coast of Haiti between the Dominican Republic border and 74W. The east Caribbean is tranquil again this morning. The surface trough trough will persist through midweek. A weak cold front will move into the northwest Caribbean late Tuesday night and stall from central Cuba to Honduras by Thursday.
