Tropical Threat Heightens Risk for Flooding and Mudslides in Mexico, Central America

A tropical wave currently over Central America will move westward into the eastern Pacific Ocean this weekend.

The combination of moving over warm ocean waters and farther from land will allow for slow development into a tropical low with a high likelihood of eventual organization into a named tropical system to the south of Mexico early next week.

In the meantime, showers and thunderstorms will be widespread from western Nicaragua through western Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Belize this weekend.


While not all areas will experience heavy rainfall, the entire region is at risk for rainfall rates 25 mm (1 inch) or greater per hour at times resulting in an elevated risk for flash flooding.

Areas that experience the heaviest rainfall could see totals exceeding 100 mm (4 inches) by Monday. This amount of rainfall will also increase the threat for mudslides in addition to flash flooding.

Locations such as Guatemala City, Belize City and San Salvador are at risk for these dangerous conditions.

By Monday, tropical development is possible to the south of Mexico; however, regardless of development, heavy rainfall will continue over a large area from southeast Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula into Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras.

A westward track of this potential tropical system will allow rainfall to diminish from El Salvador and Honduras into Nicaragua early next week.

Meanwhile, the heaviest rains will be found from Guatemala westward into the Mexico states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Veracruz.

An eventual landfall or at the very least a surge of tropical moisture into south-central and central Mexico is expected during the middle of next week which will continue the threat for flash flooding and mudslides. Acapulco and Mexico City appear to be in line for these potentially life-threatening impacts.

As this moisture and potential tropical system are pulled northward, the unsettled weather could help fuel the development of a tropical system in the western Gulf of Mexico and will also bring the threat for heavy rainfall and flooding to parts of Texas and the Gulf Coast.

From Diane....

Currently gusty winds, but not raining. Tides lower, seas choppy but no breakers inside reef.

Beaches in my area are mostly messy and not passable.

Skies looked briefly more clear at dawn today, but are completely socked in again.

Mata Grande inner road is under 2 feet of water.

Am told a big gumbo limbo tree along inner road in Tres Cocos fell down across the road yesterday. Super-saturated ground is so soft that roots of some trees and plants are not holding. I had to tie up some of my bigger ornamental plants to keep them from toppling over.

One person reported that about 25 boats sank overnight Fri-Sat in San Pedro.

From Diane....

Just had a employee arrive from town by truck.

He was able to take new road all the way. He said it wasn't too hard getting through the Journey's End junction but he would not suggest trying it by cart.

He came into Mata Grande by new back road, took turn onto lane ( heading east) beside Sundiver's back property, and then to inner road where he parked, and waded the rest of the way to my house.

On Ambergris Caye this morning we're still experiencing flooding. It's raining and more rain coming. The wind isn't as strong as yesterday and the sea is calming. Our expected high is 83 and the wind at the moment is from the East at 16 mph.

From Belmopan...

Still rain in the north, but that is slowly moving away. This general Low pressure is just hanging around, there is actually very little air movement at any level in any direction at present. That latest swell-up in the north has resulted in some thunder.

I expect continuing overcast conditions most of the day, some cloud thinning, possibly the odd peak of sun, but the rain up north taking some hours before it clears away.


Temperatures in Belmopan:
Today is probably going to be Similar, to yesterday : Sat, max 27°C 80°F Last night min 24°C 75°F ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
