The Caribbean Sea

The pressure gradient between 1010 mb Colombian low and high pressure north of the Caribbean is supporting fresh to strong winds across the central Caribbean, with moderate to fresh winds over the eastern Caribbean and gentle to moderate winds over the western Caribbean. Isolated showers are embedded within this tradewind flow. The upper level trough across the Gulf of Mexico is enhancing shower activity over the far western Caribbean, with scattered to numerous moderate convection.

High pressure N of the area will support fresh to strong trade winds across the central Caribbean through tonight. Gentle to moderate winds will prevail over most of the remainder of the basin. The aerial extent of the strong trades will decrease early this week, prevailing over the south- central Caribbean for the remainder period. Active weather, with numerous showers and thunderstorms, are expected to continue over the NW Caribbean today as a complex low over the SW Gulf of Mexico moves across the SE Gulf of Mexico.

Marty OP	The worst or is it the best of the rain has now passed. There has been an air mass come down from the north, as part of that swinging arm, which triggered all that rain yesterday and now stopping any easterly Caribbean winds. At present cloudy over most of the country, with a few spots of sunshine, presently, I do not see signs of rain, but the met office think there could be more rain this afternoon. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 75°F Yesterday max. 32°C 90°F Yesterday Rain 17 mm ( 0.7" )

Marty OP	There is a mixture of heavy black clouds and blue skies over Belmopan at present. It does look as if the cloud cover is thinning over most of the country. But an ever present chance that swellups and rain could occur later. Present Condition: Partly cloudy, clear in the south. 24hr Forecast: Cloudy skies with some showers, thunderstorms or periods of rain developing mostly over inland areas this afternoon, then over most areas tonight.

elbert	The water delivery trucks charge $400. bz to pump two tanks of water into a cistern for people living on the North half of Ambergris Caye. By that reckoning I believe most of the North Ambergris Caye people got about $1000. worth of free delivery this afternoon. White Sands Dive Shops Daily Blog http://scubalessonsbelize.blogspot.com/

Marty OP	That is Great to hear! That rain gauge looks really good! Rain is now coming into Orange walk district, and San Pedro due the NW clouds clashing with high level SW clouds, and could be some coming into central western areas later.
