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 extending the from western Atlantic westward to the eastern Gulf will maintain E to SE return flow over those waters through this morning as a cold front moves off the Texas coast. The front will then move across the northern Gulf through Fri night preceded by scattered showers and thunderstorms. SE fresh to strong return flow will then dominate across the western Gulf through Sun...then diminish Sun night as another cold front moves off the Texas coast. This front will reach from near W central Florida to the NE Yucatan Peninsula by late Mon. Strong southerly winds with a chance for winds reaching to near gale are expected ahead of this next front along...and along with another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms.
3. Caribbean Sea - A weakening cold front extends from 22N55W SW to the Leeward Islands. This front will continue to moving slowly to the SE while gradually dissipating through Fri. Weak high pressure building N of the central Caribbean behind front will support mainly moderate to fresh winds across most of the Caribbean waters...except for strong winds developing at night along the coast of Colombia and in the Gulf of Honduras. Northerly swell subsiding in the northern tropical N Atlantic will be replaced by a larger batch of long period northerly swell beginning on Sat. This northerly swell will propagate through all of the tropical N Atlantic zones into Mon.
3a. Caribbean Sea... Conditions remain relatively tranquil across the basin this morning as mostly dry west-southwesterly flow aloft prevails. One exception is a dissipating stationary front extending from near Barbuda to 15N68W. Low-level moisture convergence is maximized across the eastern Caribbean in the vicinity of the front generating isolated showers generally S of 16N between 63W-77W. Otherwise...moderate to fresh trades continue and are expected to persist through the upcoming weekend into Monday.
