Crown Weather: Remnants Of Harvey Located Over The Northwestern Caribbean: The remnants of Harvey is pushing into the northwestern Caribbean and is expected to cross the Yucatan Peninsula during the day on Tuesday before moving into the Bay of Campeche on Wednesday. Satellite imagery indicates that there is deep thunderstorm activity firing around Invest 92-L, however, this thunderstorm activity is disorganized. The reason why the thunderstorm activity is disorganized is due to the fact that there is 20-30 knots of shear located just north and east of Invest 92-L and this stronger shear is likely not allowing Harvey to organize more than what's trying to right now. There is still a possibility that Harvey could regenerate before it reaches Belize and the southern Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday, however, I think that there is a greater chance that the marginally favorable environmental conditions wont allow for regeneration over the next 24 hours or so. The remnants of Harvey will produce very heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding and mudslides across the Yucatan Peninsula and Belize starting this afternoon and continuing through tonight and Tuesday. In addition, wind gusts of up to 40-50 mph and rough seas can also be expected across Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula this afternoon through tonight and Tuesday. I don't think we will see Harvey become a tropical storm again until it reaches the Bay of Campeche on Wednesday. ![[Linked Image]](https://Ambergriscaye.com/art6/belmopanwx1708021b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://Ambergriscaye.com/art6/belmopanwx1708021c.jpg) For more information, check the daily Tropical Weather Outlook: click here

At 3 a.m. local time, the area of disturbed weather remains disorganized.
Note that lingering moisture and instability over Belize will support showers and deeper convective / thunderstorm activity during the next day or two.
- Previously, At 12 a.m. local time, satellite images showed that the large area of disturbed weather over the northwestern Caribbean
Sea, associated with the remnants of Harvey has not become
better organized and tropical cyclone development is not expected
before the system moves inland over the Yucatan peninsula this
morning. However, environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for development when the system moves over the Bay of
Campeche tonight or early Wednesday, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday or
Thursday. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected to spread westward across Belize and the Yucatan peninsula during the next day or so.
TS Harvey Dissipates, Will Dump Rain On Belize, Yucatan
Tropical Storm Harvey had everyone on edge last week. Many people were pretty much preparing for the worst because Friday's weather report had stated that the storm was moving west at 21 miles per hour with maximum winds of 40 miles per hour. So if you were wondering what happened to Harvey, well over the weekend the storm dissipated and it is now only a tropical wave. But don't get happy too fast, this wave will still bring a lot of rain. In fact, the showers started this afternoon and according to Acting Deputy Chief Meteorologist Derrick Rudon, the rains will continue later on tonight and tomorrow morning. Here is Rudon with more on the Tropical wave formerly known as Harvey.
Derrick Rudon, Acting Deputy Chief Meteorologist
"Harvey was heading towards Belize basically all the forecast was pointing it directly at us fortunately it dissipated over the South Central Caribbean and it is down now to a Tropical wave so at present the remnants of Harvey is still heading towards us."
"We will still be affected by it, we will get rains definitely and gusty winds in the showers."
Courtney Weatherburne, reporter
"What areas? I overheard you guys saying mostly in the South, people in the South are already being affected?"
Derrick Rudon, Acting Deputy Chief Meteorologist
"Well it is going to be the whole country the coast at first, we expect Northern areas this afternoon and possibly the South tonight so the whole country will get rain and we know the south floods easily they tend to have flash flooding but all areas can expect heavy rainfall and some low lying areas there is the possibility of flooding."
Again those living in low lying/flood prone areas need to be on the alert.
