The Caribbean Sea

There is one tropical wave currently impacting the Caribbean. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is over NW Venezuela and N Colombia mostly due to the proximity of the eastern Pacific monsoon trough. Isolated moderate convection is also inland over Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Latest scatterometer data depicts moderate to fresh winds across the central Caribbean, while light to gentle winds prevail elsewhere.

The low off of Jamaica continues to produce only disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Due to strong upper-level winds, significant development of this system is not expected while it moves slowly west-northwestward during the next couple of days. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is likely over portions of Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Cuba through the weekend, potentially causing flash flooding and mudslides in areas of high terrain.

OP Marty	A tropical wave (INVEST 99L) located about 570 miles east of the Windward Islands, Barbados, Tobago and Trinidad continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are currently conducive for some development, and a tropical depression could form on Sunday or early next week while the system moves quickly westward to west-northwestward toward the islands at 15 to 20 mph, crossing the Windward Islands on Sunday. Upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive for development by the middle of next week once the wave moves out of the northeastern Caribbean Sea. A NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system this afternoon, if necessary. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible over much of the Lesser Antilles over the weekend, and interests on those islands and Puerto Rico should monitor the progress of this disturbance. Meanwhile, at 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Jerry was located near latitude 21.4 North, longitude 64.0 West. Jerry is moving toward the northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue today. Jerry is forecast to recurve over the western Atlantic during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Jerry will continue to pass well north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today, pass well east of the southeastern Bahamas on Sunday, and turn northward over the western Atlantic on Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Some fluctuations in strength are likely during the next several days. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches). There are no watches or warnings in effect.

OP Marty	A lot of clumpy Caribbean cloud slowly coming in from the ENE this morning, has been causing a number of rain showers, which are now dying out. Very little trace of any high level cloud. Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, with clouds developing more this morning, a small chance of some rain showers. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 33°C 91°F Yesterday Rain 0.0 mm (0.0" )
