For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - A strong cold front will sweep across the entire Gulf through early Mon...accompanied by a large area of strong to gale force winds across most of the waters N of 22N both E and W of the front. Conditions will improve Tue through Wed as high pressure builds in the wake of the front. The next cold front will move into the NW Gulf Wed night...then across the basin through Thu night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Weak high pressure NE of the Bahamas will shift E and into the central Atlantic through Mon...maintaining a weak tradewind flow across the basin. A weak cold front sinking S across Puerto Rico and the NE Caribbean tonight will drift SE and dissipate across the extreme NE Caribbean today. A strong cold front will move into the NW Caribbean early tonight...reaching from the Windward Passage to Costa Rica Tue morning...and becoming diffuse across the NE Caribbean Wed. Another weak cold front will approach the NW Caribbean by the end of the week.
3a. A 1016 mb surface high is centered to the north of Hispaniola and extends across the basin. To the east, the tail end of a dissipating stationary front extends over the Virgin Islands and southeast Puerto Rico with isolated showers. Scatterometer data depicts gentle to moderate trades across the basin except west of 80W, where moderate to fresh southerly winds prevail. Expect during the next 24 hours for the pressure gradient to increase across the west Caribbean as a cold front approaches. Little change is expected elsewhere.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - A strong cold front will sweep across the entire gulf over the weekend accompanied by a large area of strong to gale force winds across most of the waters N of 22N both E and W of the front. Conditions will improve Tue through Wed as high pressure builds in the wake of the front.
3. Caribbean Sea - Weak high pressure over the central Bahamas will shift E-NE through the weekend and into the central Atlantic by Mon... maintaining a weak tradewind flow across the basin. Winds will increase across the NW Caribbean over the weekend ahead of a strong cold front that will move E across the Gulf of Mexico. This cold front will move across the Yucatan Channel and the NW Caribbean Sun night...reach from Windward Passage to SE Nicaragua Tue morning...and become diffuse across the NE Caribbean Wed.
3a. An area of high pressure centered just north of Cuba and extends across the basin. Scatterometer data depicts gentle to moderate trades across most of the basin except north of Honduras south of 18N and west of 83W, where fresh to strong southeasterly winds prevail. A cold front was analyzed north of Puerto Rico along 19N with isolated showers. Expect for the winds near Honduras to continue pulsing through the next 24 hours as a frontal boundary approaches from the Gulf of Mexico. The winds will then weaken by late Sunday.
