The Caribbean Sea
A surface trough over the Yucatan Peninsula is inducing scattered
moderate with isolated strong convection over the Yucatan Channel
as well as the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Gulf of
Honduras and Belize. Elsewhere in the NW Caribbean, scattered
showers extend to beyond the Cayman Islands, mainly north of 16N
between 79W-85W. In the far SW Caribbean, the east Pacific monsoon
trough is inducing scattered moderate with isolated strong convection
south of 11N between 73W-84W, including over Colombia, Panama and
Costa Rica. Scattered light to moderate showers are seen over
Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. The ASCAT pass shows fresh to locally
strong winds across the eastern and central Caribbean, east of
81W, and light to moderate winds across the SW and NW portion.
High pressure north of the region will maintain fresh to strong
trade winds and building seas from the tropical north Atlantic
westward to the south central Caribbean through Sat. A strong
cold front will move into the Yucatan Channel this afternoon,
then stall and weaken from central Cuba to Honduras by Thu night.
Fresh to strong northerly winds will accompany the front in the
NW Caribbean. Heavy rain is also expected to affect northern and
central Guatemala, much of Belize, and northwestern Honduras
today through Thu.

I think today can best be described as Cloudy. There does not appear to be much Caribbean wind, but the high level winds from the Pacific, have completely covered southern Mexico, the Yucatan and Belize, bringing about 25mm or 1" or rain over night. There is cold air pushing down over the gulf from the north, which might or might not reach us. . . NASA is really screwed up, nothing for today and still no rain radar working, so I am flying blind. My guess is that much of today will continue to be cloudy, but thinning a bit during the day, but there could still be a little rain around in any part of Belize. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 23°C 73°F Yesterday max. 31°C 87°F Yesterday Rain 22 mm ( 0.9" )

There is clearly widespread cloud, and now the surface winds and low level clouds winds are from the NNW So I do believe it indicates the cool north air is pushing down at present. Those type of clouds over the Gulf are cold weather type of cloud, the thick clouds over us are the Pacific high level clouds from the SW on top of the low cloud. Looks as if cloud will be with us for the rest of the day and night, with a chance of the occasional scattered showers.
