Navy Track...

From Hugh in Belmopan:

By and large, the rain has not been all that heavy, just persistent.

In Belmopan, we had a brief period of stronger wind from the north, blew fine rain spray into windows normally not effected.

I have flown a Cessna 150 in 30 - 35 mph winds, so should not cause any problem flying in to Belize city tomorrow.

Could well still have rain Tuesday, possibly still some into Wed.

from another friend....

I'm not in Belize City but i heard there is already a bit of flooding in some areas.

more from Hugh in Belmopan....

Been out around Belmopan the last two hours.. . . .Still raining, but as long as you are not in it for more than 5-10 mins, you don't get particularly wet, so not heavy.

Been checking the wind, I estimate 15 - 20 mph Beaufort number 4 - 5. . . . ..

From the Wunderground chart, ( Not updated since 09am BZT) This TD2 should be right on top of us about now.

But wind still from the NE and generally between about 15 - 20 mph , with another 16.1mm rain making today total so far of 25.3mm ( 1" )

A tropical disturbance moving from the western Caribbean toward southeastern Mexico has become Tropical Depression Two.

The system will unleash torrential rainfall and the potential for flooding and mudslides in the region. There is a chance the system becomes Tropical Storm Barry before reaching mainland Mexico at midweek.

Tropical downpours from northern Nicaragua and northern Honduras and Belize to southeastern Mexico can easily produce several inches of rain in a short amount of time.

Two-day rainfall, as of Monday morning, in Honduras includes 5.64 inches in La Ceiba and 4.26 inches in Trujillo.

Proximity to land (less than 60 miles) is expected to limit much development before it reaches Belize Monday afternoon. However, plenty of warm water on either side of the peninsula is available to the system and may sustain it somewhat after making landfall.

This enhanced satellite image shows Tropical Depression Two approaching Belize as of Monday midday, June 17, 2013.

On Ambergris Caye The Coastal Express has stopped running and we're getting some major surge. It's going to be a rough night on the ocean front.

summary of 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...information
----------------------------------------------
location...16.4n 88.4w
about 10 mi...15 km NE of Monkey River Town Belize
maximum sustained winds...35 mph...55 km/h
present movement...WNW or 290 degrees at 12 mph...19 km/h
minimum central pressure...1008 mb...29.77 inches

Discussion and 48-hour outlook
------------------------------
satellite...radar...and surface data indicate that the depression is
currently near the coast of southern Belize and should move inland
within the next few hours.

At 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...the center of Tropical Depression Two was
located near latitude 16.4 north...longitude 88.4 west. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph...19
km/h. This general motion with a decrease in forward speed is
expected over the next couple of days. On the forecast track...the
center will move over Belize and northern Guatemala tonight and
early Tuesday...over eastern Mexico later on Tuesday. The
depression could emerge into the southern Bay of Campeche by early
Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph...55 km/h...with higher
gusts. Weakening will occur while the center moves over land
tonight and Tuesday. Some strengthening is possible by early
Wednesday if the center emerges into the Bay of Campeche.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb...29.77 inches.

Hazards affecting land
----------------------
rainfall...the depression is expected to produce total rainfall
accumulations of 2 to 4 inches with maximum amounts of 6 inches
across portions of Belize...Guatemala...and northern Honduras...
along with the Mexican states of Chiapas...Tabasco...Veracruz...and
the southern Yucatan Peninsula. These rains could cause flash
flooding...especially in mountainous areas.

Wind...gusty winds to near tropical storm force are possible along
portions of the coast of Belize through tonight.

although the center of the depression has been hard to locate this
afternoon...satellite and radar imagery as well as surface
observations suggest that the depression is very near the coast of
southern Belize. The system did not strengthen this afternoon...and
in fact became a little less organized as it approached the coast.
The current intensity is kept at 30 kt although this might be
generous. The cyclone should move over land...some of it
mountainous...for the next 24 to 36 hours. Therefore it is
conceivable that the tropical cyclone could dissipate in that time
frame.

The initial motion estimate is 290/10. The global models show
an east-West Ridge weakening...but remaining in place...over the
northern Gulf of Mexico during the next few days. This should
maintain the west-northwestward heading with a slowing of forward
speed during the next 48-72 hours. The 1800 UTC track guidance is
somethat slower than that from this morning...and so is the
official track forecast. The NHC track prediction is very close to
the latest GFS...however the new ECMWF model run is farther south
and suggests that the system might not be able to emerge into the
Gulf of Mexico.

The primary concern with this system is heavy rainfall...which could
cause significant flooding over portions of Central America and
eastern Mexico.
