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 cold front extending from SE Louisiana to 24N92W and to the SW Gulf will reach from the western Florida Panhandle to the central Bay of Campeche, Mexico later this morning...from S Florida to the northern Yucatan Peninsula Wed evening...then move SE of the area on Thu. Minimal gale force winds are expected over the SW Gulf Wed. high pressure will build over the area in the wake of the front. Low pressure over Texas will extend a warm front across the central and eastern Gulf Fri night into Sat. The warm front will lift N of the area late Sat in advance of a weak cold front that may move across the eastern Gulf Sat night through Sun.
3. Caribbean Sea - Winds and seas will diminish through the week over the Caribbean waters. A set of NW swell will propagate into the northern tropical N Atlantic waters tonight...and through the remainder of tropical N Atlantic through Fri night. A weakening cold front will move into the NW Caribbean late tonight into Thu...then dissipate on Fri. Otherwise...fresh trades will persist near the NW coast of Colombia increasing to fresh to strong beginning on Fri night and through Sun. Easterly flow will also increase to fresh to strong in the Gulf of Honduras Sat through Sun.
3a. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the NW corner of the area. This anticyclonic wind flow is related to the upper level ridge whose anticyclonic wind flow also covers the Atlantic Ocean from 60W westward. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow is from 15N southward from 75W eastward. Middle level-to-upper level cyclonic wind flow covers the area that is from 15N northward from 70W eastward. This wind flow is part of the larger-scale central Atlantic Ocean trough, that is driving the central Atlantic Ocean frontal boundary. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery across the area. Rainshowers are possible to the north of the line that extends from 17N60W to 16N70W to 13N83W at the coast of Nicaragua. 24-HOUR rainfall amounts, for the period ending at 15/0000 UTC... according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are: 0.01 in Guadeloupe.
