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 developing over the Yucatan Peninsula each afternoon will move W across the SW Gulf at night. Moderate winds will prevail elsewhere across the basin through Thu night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Fresh to locally strong NE flow is expected in the central Caribbean and NW Caribbean through this evening. Large N swell reaching NE Caribbean Passages Sun night and Mon will spread southward across tropical waters E of the Leewards and Windwards through Wed.
3a. The pressure gradient between strong high pressure over the west Atlantic and lower pressure over northern Colombia supports fresh to near gale-force winds from 10N to 15N between 69W and 78W. This synoptic pattern is expected to continue through Monday. Water Vapor and CIRA LPW imagery continue to show very stable conditions over the western Caribbean while SW winds aloft advects moisture from South America to the eastern basin. Moisture is also being advected from the tropical Atlantic waters to the NE Caribbean by SE flow associated with an area of low pressure in the Central Atlantic waters. All this moisture may induce the development of showers mainly over the NE basin where the moisture is converging. Shower activity for this region and Hispaniola is expected through Tuesday.
