Belize Weather Forecast: April 4, 2018

The Caribbean Sea

Presently, isolated showers and thunderstorms are occurring over Hispaniola. A sharp upper-level trough crosses the north central Caribbean with upper-level divergence noted E of the trough over the Virgin Islands and northern Windward Islands. A resultant plume of broken high clouds is over the E Caribbean E of 70W.

The surface high pressure ridge to the N of the of the area will be weakened by low pres moving E from the United States. This will keep wind speeds over the basin relatively low in the light to moderate range. Winds will be moderate to fresh over the south central Caribbean, except locally strong along the northern Coast of Colombia during the late night and early morning hours. Mostly dry weather will continue over the remainder of the basin the next couple days as a subsident air mass associated with ridging to the W of the upper level trough moves E over the basin. The upper- level ridge will then dominate the weather through Sun.
