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 thermal trough will develop each afternoon over the Yucatan Peninsula and move W across the SW Gulf late each night into early morning accompanied by a fresh to strong NE to E wind shift through Fri evening. Fresh to strong SE return flow over the eastern Gulf will gradually diminish overnight and on Tue. The next cold front will enter the NW Gulf on Tue evening...stall along 27N on Wed night with the remnants drifting N on Fri. A second cold front will enter the far NW waters late Sat night.
3. Caribbean Sea - A cold front will drift S and gradually dissipate across the tropical waters E of the Leewards through Thu. Gale force winds are expected during the overnight and early morning hours offshore of the NW coast of Colombia through Thu night. Minimal gale force NE winds expected in the lee of Hispaniola this evening. Otherwise strong to near gale force winds will dominate most of Caribbean through mid week...and then diminish from the NW late in week as the strong E flow shifts E across the tropical waters. The pressure gradient will relax some on Sat.
3a. Aside from the near-gale to gale-force winds forecast across the Windward Passage region today and off the coast of Colombia the next few days (see section above for details), dry and stable air aloft prevails across the basin along with fairly tranquil conditions at the surface. The primary feature impacting the basin is the tip of a cold front, analyzed from 18N66W to 17N73W. Isolated showers are occurring within 120 NM on either side of the front. Scatterometer data depicts fresh to strong northeasterly winds across the basin, with highest speeds prevailing across the northern half of the basin. The high pressure will be anchored across the west Atlantic region for much of the week ahead, therefore, little change is expected.
