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.
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.
