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 thermal trough will enhance winds along the NW Yucatan Peninsula tonight. A ridge dissecting the Gulf waters from the Florida Big Bend to NE Mexico will retract E on Wed allowing a cold front to enter the NW Gulf. The cold front will reach from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico early Thu and pass through the Straits of Florida late Thu night. Southerly return flow will set up across the entire Gulf late in the upcoming weekend.
3. Caribbean Sea - Nocturnal gale winds expected within 90 NM of the coast of NW coast of Colombia. Otherwise strong Atlantic high pressure will maintain fresh to strong trades to the E of 80W through Sun night...and across the waters W of 80W behind a cold front this weekend.
3a. Broad middle level-to-upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the Caribbean Sea. An upper level trough starts near 12N61W, and it continues to 11N64W, and 10N69W and 10N75W. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery elsewhere across the area. Rainshowers are possible elsewhere across the Caribbean Sea, primarily from 76W eastward. The 24-hour rainfall amounts, for the period ending at 01/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are: 0.24 in Guadeloupe.

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 - High pressure will pass north of the Gulf today and become centered over the mid-Atlantic waters Mon...with E-SE winds expanding east overnight...then persisting across the Gulf through mid week. The next cold front will cross the NW Gulf late Wed...reaching from central Florida to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico by Thu. Strong northerly winds will follow this front with the potential for a gale to develop over southwest waters on Thu.
3. Caribbean Sea - Trade winds will begin to increase across Caribbean overnight as high pressure builds N of the area. Strong to near gale force wind is near the coast of Colombia...forecast to reach minimal gale force during the overnight hours each night this week beginning Mon. Fresh to strong winds in the south-central Caribbean will extend to S of Hispaniola Mon night continuing through the end of the period and across the E Caribbean Wed through Fri. Fresh to strong winds will develop in the Windward Passage Mon night through Wed night. Otherwise...large trade wind swell will affect the tropical Atlantic waters Mon through Fri.
3a. Upper-level ridging prevails over the Caribbean basin as water vapor indicates mostly dry air within an overall subsident environment. A surface trough was analyzed across the northwest Caribbean from 20N83W to 17N85W. Isolated low-topped showers are within 120 nm either side of the boundary and forecast to drift westward toward the Yucatan peninsula today. Farther east, quick moving isolated showers are possible through the overnight hours mainly east of 71W. Aside from the Special Features near-gale to gale-force winds expected off the coast of Colombia each night, moderate to fresh trades will persist today and gradually increase to fresh to strong breeze levels by Tuesday as high pressure anchors itself to the north across the southwest Atlantic. The strengthened pressure gradient across the basin will remain in place through the week.
