The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: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 stalling stationary front extending from near Fort Myers, Florida to 24N90W will dissipate through the morning. Southerly flow will surge across the Gulf later today ahead of a deep low pressure system over the southern plains. A trailing cold front will move off the Texas coast Sun night reaching from near W central Florida to N of the Yucatan Peninsula Mon night...then shift E of the area through mid week.
3. Caribbean Sea - High pressure across the NW Atlantic building SSE into the region will support moderate to fresh winds across most of the Caribbean waters...except for strong winds developing at night along the coast of Colombia and across the Gulf of Honduras. Northerly swell moving through the tropical N Atlantic will continue to fade overnight with another larger northerly swell invading Sat through Mon.
3a. A large upper-level anticyclone centered over northern Venezuela dominates the flow over the Caribbean with strong mid to upper level subsidence over the basin. At the surface, conditions remain relatively tranquil across the basin. Light to moderate trade winds were noted over the basin. Little change in the overall conditions is expected over the weekend.
