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 - Fresh to strong southerly return flow will persist in the western Gulf ahead of a cold front expected to move across the NW Gulf later this morning. The front will move SE across the area through Thu...then become stationary over the southern waters on Fri where it will dissipate through Sat. Minimal gale force winds will be possible near the coast of Veracruz Thu afternoon. Low pressure may develop along the remnants this weekend bringing increasing winds and seas.
3. Caribbean Sea - Trades will build back across the forecast waters tonight...and will increase to fresh to strong in the S central Caribbean the end of the week into the weekend.
3a. A surface trough, the remnants of a cold front, extends from the Mona Passage near 19N68W to the SW Caribbean near 11N79W. Scattered showers are within 90 nm of the trough. 10-15 kt NE winds are over the NW Caribbean W of the trough. 10-20 kt S winds are over the E Caribbean E of the trough. Elsewhere, scattered showers are inland over N Colombia and N Venezuela. In the upper levels, a ridge with axis along 88W is producing mostly westerly flow with very strong subsidence. Expect the tail-end of a cold front, moving to the E, to traverse Puerto Rico and the Leeward Islands with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the next 24 hours.
