The Caribbean Sea

Mid-level anticyclonic flow centered north of Puerto Rico is spreading subsidence and dry air over the eastern Caribbean. Isolated showers and tstorms are over the far SW Caribbean and in the vicinity of Cuba. Numerous moderate scattered strong convection is seen over portions of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. Some of these showers and tstorms may be spilling into the Gulf of Honduras. Isolated showers extend N from there through the Yucatan Channel. A recent ASCAT pass shows strong trades over the south-central Caribbean, south of 15.5N between 70W-74.5W, including along the coast of NW Venezuela and NE Colombia. Fresh trades are elsewhere from 10.5N-17N between 63W-81W.

Fresh to strong trades will continue over the central Caribbean through Tue night then resume again Thu night through Fri. Fresh to strong winds will pulse early this morning in the Gulf of Honduras then resume Wed night through Fri. Fires in Central America may reduce visibility at times in the Gulf of Honduras.

elbert	On Ambergris Caye the morning's sky is gray, hazy and we have sprinkles of rain. An 11 mph wind from the East is making sea conditions around our barrier reef calm. Today's expected high temperature is 88 f. White Sands Dive Shops Daily Blog http://scubalessonsbelize.blogspot.com/

Marty OP	High level cloud all around, everywhere, rain in many places, probably most of southern Belize and then later some off the coast of Ambergris caye. But presently, probably no rain on most of Belize. This is all associated with weather that is going right up through central North America, Mexico, parts of Canada and us. Looks like a lot of cloud for most of the day, but relatively little rain is any. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 25°C 77°F Yesterday max. 35°C 95°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0" )

Marty OP	Looks as if there is some fighting with Caribbean air trying to come back in, particularly in the north right now, causing significant rain in the Corozal region. and some probably about to develop in the Belize district and possibly other areas later.
