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 cold front moving off the Texas coast will stall from the western Florida Panhandle to off Veracruz, Mexico by this evening then lift N of the area through Tue. Strong northerly winds will follow a stronger cold front moving off the Texas coast Wed...sweeping through the SE Gulf by Thu night.
3. Caribbean Sea - High pressure N of the area will support moderate to fresh winds across most of the Caribbean...except for strong winds developing at night along the coast of Colombia and Venezuela...and across the Gulf of Honduras. Large northerly swell will persist across the tropical Atlantic waters through today. A strong late season cold front will sink into NW Caribbean Fri.
3a. Relatively tranquil conditions prevail across the basin as dry and stable southwest flow continues over the area. Scatterometer data depicts fresh to occasional strong trades across the basin as high pressure remains anchored to the north across the west Atlantic. Slightly stronger winds are expected to pulse during the late night and early morning hours within close proximity to the coast of Colombia. Little change is expected through the next few days.
