An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 23W, from 19N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Development of this weather feature is expected to be slow during the next couple of days, while it moves west-northwestward about 15 mph. It is more likely that a tropical depression may form early next week, in the central part of the tropical Atlantic Ocean, where environmental conditions are forecast to be more favorable for development. Please, read the North Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook for the latest updates. Precipitation: any nearby precipitation is in the monsoon trough. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 29W, from 19N southward, moving W 10 to 15 knots. Precipitation: any nearby precipitation is in the monsoon trough. A 1009 mb low pressure center is near 12N37W. Precipitation: Isolated to widely scattered moderate and isolated strong is in the Atlantic Ocean from 10N to 15N between 34W and 43W. Gradual development is possible early next week, once the larger tropical wave that now is along 23W, passes to the north of the 1009 mb low pressure center on Sunday. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is 46W/47W from 20N southward, moving W 10 to 15 knots. Precipitation: any nearby precipitation is in the monsoon trough. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 60W from 20N southward, moving W 10 to 15 knots. Precipitation: isolated moderate covers the waters from 20N southward, between 57W and the islands of the eastern Caribbean Sea. The wave is moving toward an area of upper level SW wind flow, that is on the eastern side of the upper level Hispaniola cyclonic circulation center. A Caribbean Sea tropical wave is along 80W/81W, from 19N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. An upper level cyclonic circulation center is on top of Hispaniola. Upper level cyclonic wind flow covers parts of the Caribbean Sea and parts of the Atlantic Ocean from 12N to 27N between 57W and 79W. Precipitation: isolated to widely scattered moderate and isolated strong covers the Caribbean Sea from 69W westward. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough passes through the coastal sections of Mauritania near 19N16W, to 12N27W, to 13N42W. The ITCZ continues from 13N42W to 15N58W. Precipitation: isolated to widely scattered moderate and isolated strong is from 06N to 17N between 23W and 50W. Isolated moderate is within 180 nm to the north of the monsoon trough from 20W eastward. GULF OF MEXICO... Upper level cyclonic wind flow is within 600 nm to 700 nm of the remnants of NANA in the N semicircle. Precipitation: isolated to widely scattered moderate and isolated strong is in the Gulf of Mexico from 27N southward from 85W westward. A 1008 mb low pressure center is in Texas near 30N102W. Precipitation: widely scattered to scattered moderate and isolated strong is within 270 nm of the low pressure center in the E quadrant. The surface pressure pattern is flat and weak. A 1015 mb high pressure center is in SW Alabama. High pressure in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico will dissipate through Friday, in advance of a weak front moving into the northern Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. The front will stall in the northern Gulf of Mexico through Monday, then dissipate slowly through early next week. Fresh to strong winds will pulse NW of the Yucatan Peninsula each night through Saturday night, then moderate to fresh thereafter. CARIBBEAN SEA... An upper level cyclonic circulation center is on top of Hispaniola. Upper level cyclonic wind flow covers parts of the Caribbean Sea and parts of the Atlantic Ocean from 12N to 27N between 57W and 79W. A tropical wave is along 80W/81W, from 19N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Precipitation: isolated to widely scattered moderate and isolated strong covers the Caribbean Sea from 69W westward. The monsoon trough is along 10N/11N between 73W in Colombia and NW Costa Rica. Precipitation: scattered to numerous strong is within 180 nm to the south of the monsoon trough, in Colombia and parts of NW Venezuela, between 72W and 76W. Isolated moderate is elsewhere from 15N southward from 74W westward, in the SW corner of the Caribbean Sea. Fresh to strong trade winds will pulse in the central Caribbean Sea. Expect moderate to fresh trade winds elsewhere through Saturday. The trade winds will diminish basin-wide, by the end of the weekend into early next week, as high pressure N-NE of the area weakens. ATLANTIC OCEAN... An upper level cyclonic circulation center is on top of Hispaniola. Upper level cyclonic wind flow covers parts of the Caribbean Sea and parts of the Atlantic Ocean from 12N to 27N between 57W and 79W. A tropical wave is along 80W/81W, from 19N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Precipitation: isolated to widely scattered moderate and isolated strong covers the Caribbean Sea from 69W westward. Isolated moderate is in the Atlantic Ocean from 26N southward from 56W westward. Broad surface anticyclonic wind flow covers the Atlantic Ocean from 20N northward from 80W westward. A surface ridge extends from a 1022 mb high pressure center that is near 34N36W, to 32N47W, 28N60W 29N79W, into northern Florida. A ridge extending along 29N supports moderate to locally fresh trade winds S of 25N, and gentle to moderate anticyclonic flow N of 25N. It is possible that a weak cold front may settle S of 31N this weekend, weakening the ridge, before dissipating. New high pressure N-NE area will support mainly moderate E-SE flow basin-wide early next week. $$ mt
