The Caribbean Sea
The GFS model for 250 mb, and the current water vapor satellite
imagery, show an anticyclonic circulation center on top of
Belize. Broad upper level anticyclonic wind flow spans nearly
all of the Caribbean Sea. An upper level trough passes across
the island of Guadeloupe in the eastern Caribbean Sea islands,
to the coast of Venezuela along 68W. Comparatively drier air is
apparent in water vapor imagery across the entire Caribbean Sea.
Precipitation: Rain showers are possible in areas of low level
clouds to the east of a line from the Yucatan Channel to 13N70W.
High pressure north of the area will maintain fresh to strong
winds near Colombia through Sat. Fresh to occasionally strong
winds are also expected in the Gulf of Honduras at night through
Tue. Smoke from agricultural fires in Central America may reduce
visibility near the Yucatan Peninsula and offshore of Belize and
Honduras.
