Ocean water temperatures are 79°F to 81°F or 26ºC to 27ºC.







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 remain centered over the NE Gulf through Fri. A cold front will enter the northern waters Fri night...then exit the E Gulf Sat as high pressure builds back across the N basin. A thermal trough will cause nocturnal winds to increase over the E Bay of Campeche, Mexico the next several nights.
3. Caribbean Sea - Fresh to strong winds will continue over the S central Caribbean through the forecast period...with winds reaching near gale force each night north of the coast of Colombia. Trade wind swell will affect the Atlantic zones through early next week.
3a. The pressure gradient has tightened again in the central Caribbean, thus resulting in strong to near gale force NE winds from 10N to 12N between 74W and 76W and moderate to fresh trades elsewhere. CIRA LPW imagery continue to show patches of low level moisture moving across the north-central, NE and SW Caribbean allowing for scattered to isolated showers mainly across Hispaniola and Puerto Rico southern adjacent waters. Water vapor imagery show strong dry air subsidence elsewhere what is supporting fair weather. Winds in the south-central Caribbean will continue for the next two days possibly extending through the remainder weekend. Otherwise, showers are expected in the NW Caribbean Friday in association with the westward moving moist airmass currently in the NE and north-central basin.
