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 - Weak high pressure ridge over the Gulf will shift S today as a weak cold front drops S over the northern Gulf. The ridge will then retreat E Mon night and Tue as a stronger cold front moves across eastern Texas. This front will move into the NW Gulf Tue night...extend from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico Wed night...and move SE of the area Thu.
3. Caribbean Sea - Minimal gale force winds off the Coast of Colombia will gradually diminish to fresh speeds by late Wed. Long period NW swell are causing seas to build in the tropical N Atlantic. A second set of NW swell will propagate into the tropical N Atlantic on Wed. A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Thu.
3a. A gale is presently along the coast of N Colombia for a few more hours. 15-30 kt tradewinds are over the remainder of the Caribbean Sea. The tail end of a quasi-stationary front is N of Puerto Rico and over Hispaniola producing scattered showers. Residual surface moisture in the form of scattered showers continues from Hispaniola to Jamaica to the Gulf of Honduras moving W with the tradewinds. Elsewhere, a good amount of broken to overcast low clouds with embedded showers are advecting over the Windward Islands and N Venezuela, from the Atlantic. In the upper levels zonal flow is over Central America and the Caribbean Sea with very strong subsidence. Expect over the next 24 hours for the front over the Atlantic to weaken, dip S, and produce areas of scattered showers from the N Leeward Islands to S of Jamaica. Also expect residual moisture to produce scattered showers from Jamaica to the Gulf of Honduras. Meanwhile, expect more scattered showers over the S Windward Islands and N Venezuela, within the tradewind flow.
