A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 28W from 02N to 13N, moving westward at 15 kt. Convection associated with the tropical wave remains weak at this time. A tropical wave approaching the Windward Islands has its axis along 61W from 01N to 13N, moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 08N to 13N between 59W and 63W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also observed over NE Venezuela. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough axis passes through the coastal plains of Guinea near 09N14W to 07N15W. The ITCZ continues from 07N15W to 05N23W. The ITCZ resumes at 04N29W and continues to 03N40W to the coast of French Guiana near 05N52W. Scattered moderate convection is observed from 02N to 07N between 14W to 26W. Scattered moderate convection is also observed from 02N to 07N between 33W and 51W. GULF OF MEXICO... Please read the Special Features section for details on Potential Tropical Cyclone One over the Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered moderate convection extends from the Yucatan Channel north to 24N between the Florida Straits and 87W. Fresh to strong SE-E winds associated with Potential Tropical Cyclone One are impacting the Yucatan Channel, extending north to 25N. Winds are moderate across the majority of the basin with gentle conditions in the western Gulf. Seas are 6-9 ft in the SE Gulf and 4-6 ft elsewhere. For the forecast, Potential Tropical Cyclone One will move to 22.3N 87.4W Fri morning, 23.5N 86.5W Fri afternoon, 24.8N 84.9W Sat morning, 26.5N 82.3W Sat afternoon, 28.7N 79.3W Sun morning, and 30.6N 76.0W Sun afternoon. PTC One will change little in intensity as it moves to near 33.5N 70.0W Mon afternoon. CARIBBEAN SEA... Please read the Special Features section for details on Potential Tropical Cyclone One over the Yucatan Peninsula. In the NW Carribbean, fresh to strong S-SE winds and 6-10 ft seas persist in association with PTC One. Conditions are more favorable in the central and eastern Caribbean with gentle to moderate trades and 3-5 ft seas. As for the forecast, Potential Tropical Cyclone One will move to 22.3N 87.4W Fri morning, 23.5N 86.5W Fri afternoon, 24.8N 84.9W Sat morning, 26.5N 82.3W Sat afternoon, 28.7N 79.3W Sun morning, and 30.6N 76.0W Sun afternoon. PTC One will change little in intensity as it moves to near 33.5N 70.0W Mon afternoon. ATLANTIC OCEAN... 1012 mb low pressure NE of the Bahamas is centered near 28N76W. The potential for this system to develop into a tropical cyclone has diminished today. A surface trough extends E from this feature, with scattered moderate convection observed from 26N to 29N between 66W and 74W. Winds are gentle to locally moderate in the western Atlantic with slight seas. A 1024 mb high pressure centered near 31N31W dominates the central Atlantic. The gradient between this feature and lower pressure in vicinity of the monsoon trough/ITCZ is generating moderate to fresh NE winds in the eastern Atlantic and south of 20N in the central Atlantic with 6-8 ft seas. As for the forecast west of 55W, Potential Tropical Cyclone One will move to 22.3N 87.4W Fri morning, 23.5N 86.5W Fri afternoon, 24.8N 84.9W Sat morning, 26.5N 82.3W Sat afternoon, 28.7N 79.3W Sun morning, and 30.6N 76.0W Sun afternoon. PTC One will change little in intensity as it moves to near 33.5N 70.0W Mon afternoon. $$ Flynn
