There has been significant rain south of PG, looks like that area frequently gets a lot of rain, actually south of PG.. . .There has also been scattered rain showers around Corozal and a few elsewhere, but mainly dying out. . . . There is moist air coming in from the Caribbean, perhaps some rain later this evening and night.. . ....That 94L over in the Atlantic has broken up.
