Belize Weather Forecast: April 13, 2018

The Caribbean Sea

Weak ridging north of the basin is maintaining light to moderate trades winds everywhere, except for fresh winds off the coast of northeast Colombia and in the Windward Passage as noted in a recent scatterometer satellite pass. Seas are 5 to 8 ft in the central Caribbean, and 3 to 5 ft elsewhere. No significant shower and thunderstorms.

Moderate to fresh trade winds will increase to fresh to strong with building seas across the central Caribbean and in the Gulf of Honduras into Sun. The ridge will shift east ahead of a cold front moving into the northwest Caribbean late Sun, and reaching from central Cuba to eastern Honduras Mon followed by strong northerly winds. This late season front will weaken through late Mon allowing winds and seas to diminish over the northwest Caribbean through Tue. Farther east, NE swell in excess of 8 ft will persist east of the Leeward and Windward Islands into early next week.
