LIFR: KDLP. IFR: none. MVFR: none. LOW LEVEL CLOUD CEILINGS AND WEATHER...FOR THE COASTAL PLAINS OF THE U.S.A. FROM THE DEEP SOUTH OF TEXAS TO FLORIDA... TEXAS: Lightning is to the distant SE of Edinburg. MVFR in Port Lavaca. Rainshowers and thunder are near Sugarland. Rainshowers and thunder are in the Houston metropolitan area. Louisiana: Rainshowers and thunder are in the Lake Charles metropolitan area, in Baton Rouge, and around Lake Pontchartrain. Light drizzle at Grand Isle. Mississippi: IFR and some MVFR in the coastal plains. Alabama: MVFR and light rain between the Florida Peninsula and SE Mississippi. Florida: MVFR from Crestview and Destin westward. ...THE CARIBBEAN SEA... An upper level trough extends from an Atlantic Ocean 28N64W cyclonic circulation center, to 23N70W, to Jamaica, to 14N83W near the coast of NE Nicaragua. Convective precipitation: Isolated moderate from 14N to 16N between 75W and 82W. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the rest of the Caribbean Sea on either side of the trough. 24-HOUR RAINFALL TOTALS IN INCHES FOR THE PERIOD ENDING AT 04/1200 UTC...ACCORDING TO THE PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...1.06 in Guadeloupe, 0.98 in Havana in Cuba, 0.79 in Curacao, 0.19 in Acapulco in Mexico, 0.11 in Trinidad, and and 0.07 in San Juan in Puerto Rico.

This wind flow is related to the jamaica cyclonic circulation center, that is described in the Caribbean Sea section, and in the Atlantic Ocean section. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...FOR PORT-AU-PRINCE IN HAITI: VFR/no ceilings. FOR THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...Barahona: VFR/no ceilings. Santo Domingo/Punta Cana/La Romana: VFR/no ceilings. Santiago: MVFR. Puerto Plata: VFR/no ceilings. FOR HISPANIOLA: The GFS MODEL forecast for 250 MB: the Jamaica cyclonic circulation center will move westward. Southerly wind flow will move across Hispaniola, becoming SE wind flow as a ridge cuts across the island from the Atlantic Ocean, for day one. Day two will consist of SE wind flow becoming NE to E wind flow, as the anticyclonic circulation center approaches Hispaniola from the northeast more and more. The GFS MODEL forecast for 500 MB shows that SE wind flow will move across the area for the next 48 hours. A ridge will approach Hispaniola from the northeast, from the Atlantic Ocean, at the end of day two. The GFS MODEL forecast for 700 MB shows that NE to E wind flow will be moving across the area, becoming SE by the end of day one. Day two will consist of SE wind flow moving across Hispaniola. ...THE ATLANTIC OCEAN... An upper level trough passes through 32N75W to 28N75W. A surface trough is along 31N71W 28N76W, to the Florida east coast near 26N80W. Convective precipitation: Isolated moderate to locally strong within 90 nm on either side of 33N68W 28N73W 27N80W. An upper level trough extends from a 28N64W cyclonic circulation center, to 23N70W, to Jamaica, to 14N83W near the coast of NE Nicaragua. Convective precipitation: Rainshowers are possible from 27N northward between 62W and 68W. An upper level trough, whose southernmost point reaches 33N40W, supports a cold front that 32N40W to 31N42W. A surface trough extends from a 1017 mb low pressure center that is near 30N50W, to 31N44W. A second surface trough extends from the 30N50W low pressure center to 27N52W and 26N55W. Convective precipitation: Isolated moderate from 28N to 30N between 44W and 50W. Rainshowers are possible elsewhere from 28N to 33N between 40W and 54W. Rainshowers are possible within 60 nm on either side of 28N50W 25N54W 24N60W. An Atlantic Ocean upper level trough passes through 32N37W to 25N40W to 14N46W. Convective precipitation: Widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 24N to 30N between 30W and 36W. Isolated moderate from 23N to 24N between 40W and 42W. An upper level trough extends from a cyclonic circulation center that is about 460 nm to the north of the Canary Islands, to 14N20W, in the coastal waters of Senegal. Cyclonic wind flow covers the area from 14N northward from 25W eastward. Surface anticyclonic wind flow covers the area from 24N northward from 33W eastward.
