The easterly Caribbean winds are doing the same thing as the have been for several days now, and there are traces of warm air coming up off Honduras. But not there is serious clashing with high level clouds from the SW, causing a lot of heavy cloud and heavy patches of rain, again more so over central Belize, but there can be rain in any part of Belize today. There is even lightning with a fair bit of this rain.

Looks like this will be with us for much of the day. Patches of heavy rain, generally heavy overcast, some sun in northern parts.
