Belize Weather Forecast: April 18, 2018

The Caribbean Sea

A few showers linger between Jamaica and eastern Honduras along the remnants of a dissipated frontal boundary that moved into the northwest Caribbean earlier in the week. Farther west, a few showers are active over the northeast Caribbean, with a thunderstorm active briefly south of Puerto Rico earlier this evening, related to a trough moving through the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Farther south, a couple of ship observations in the ABC Islands indicate fresh to strong trade winds are active along the coast of northwestern Venezuela and northeast Colombia. Meanwhile, swell is still reaching 8 ft east of Windward Islands as noted in a recent altimeter satellite pass.

The trough over the eastern Caribbean will gradually become diffuse as it passes across eastern Hispaniola Thu. Ridging north of the region will maintain fresh to strong winds off Colombia through late in the week, expanding from the south central into the southwest Caribbean late Wed through late Fri. These winds then diminish Sat afternoon, before pulsing back up to fresh to strong Sat night into Sun.
