The Caribbean Sea

A weakening stationary front extends from the eastern tip of Cuba near 20N74W to 20N77W, then to near 21N83W. The front has disrupted the sub-tropical ridge north of the area, resulting in lighter than usual trade wind flow across the basin. A few showers are possible over the waters between the front and Jamaica. The latest overnight scatterometer data showed moderate to locally fresh winds in the southeastern and south-central Caribbean. Fresh winds are seen in the Gulf of Honduras. Light to gentle winds are noted elsewhere over the basin. Fairly dry conditions persist across the basin under moderate subsidence aloft as depicted in water vapor imagery. Regional radar imagery continues to reveal isolated showers in the northern Windward Islands, and south of Cuba near the stalled frontal boundary.

The front is likely to dissipate by late this afternoon. Light to moderate winds will gradually increase this weekend as high pressure begins to rebuild over the western Atlantic. Fresh winds are likely to begin pulsing each night through the period beginning Sat night over the Gulf of Honduras and especially along the coast of Colombia. Fresh winds are likely to pulse each night beginning Sat night over the Gulf of Honduras and especially along the coast of Colombia. These winds are forecast to expand in coverage along the coast of Colombia at night starting on Sun and through Wed. Wave heights with these winds will reach to about 11 ft on Tue and into Wed.

North swell is forecast to affect the northeastern Caribbean passages late today and through at least Mon.

The easterly Caribbean winds have been pushing back with a vengeance, causing significant cloud over a large area of Belize over night and now fast clouds coming in, presently north and central Belize and coastal southern Belize, but no indication that it will cause any rain during the day. There is high level winds from the SW, but no cloud, it is causing the clouds over the sea off Honduras to curve away in a line. The last two days, significantly the hottest of the year, many large ITCZ rain storms all around, in the evenings, but not over Belize.

Another hot, sunny day, with significant Clouds, no rain expected.

ITCZ cloud activity all over the place, caused by high level clashing with rising lower level air due to the sun heat on the land. . . But none of that rain likely to come any where near Belize.
