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 low pressure system with active convection ahead of the cold front will move east-southeast across the Florida Peninsula tonight. Strong southerly winds will develop east of the front later today, and fresh to strong northwest winds behind the front will move into the Yucatan Channel this afternoon. A second cold front will reach the Texas coast Friday and become stationary across the southern Gulf along 22-23N by Sat night.
3. Caribbean Sea - S winds will shift NW and increase today in the NW Caribbean behind a cold front moving into the Yucatan Channel. The front will stall and gradually dissipate Thursday through Friday. Light to gentle winds will prevail across most of the remainder of the area through Friday.
3a. Overall the Caribbean basin remains under fairly tranquil conditions this morning with the exception of the eastern and far northwestern waters. A cold front lies to the N of Puerto Rico from 23N60W to 22N63W. A surface trough also extends from the cold front near 23N57W to 20N58W to 12N62W and provides focus for isolated showers across the Windward Islands. Mostly northerly winds prevail across the eastern Caribbean and Atlantic moisture and cloudiness with embedded isolated showers are occurring N of 13 E of 70W. Across the NW Caribbean...a cold front is analyzed across the eastern Gulf of Mexico to the western region of the Yucatan Channel. Isolated showers and tstms are occurring NW of a line from western Cuba near 22N81W to the Gulf of Honduras near 16N88W. The front will introduce fresh to occasional strong W-NW winds through Wednesday night into early Thursday. Otherwise...dry and stable air aloft on NW flow coupled with gentle to moderate northerly winds are prevailing and expected to persist through Wednesday.
