The Caribbean Sea

...Heavy rainfall in Central America... A Central American Gyre has developed in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The gyre will move northward, gradually, toward Central America and southern Mexico, during the upcoming weekend. The gyre will continue to push abundant moisture into parts of Central America through the weekend, and into the next week. Heavy rainfall is likely in Central America, especially from northern Costa Rica northward into southern Mexico. Heavy rainfall will bring the potential for life-threatening flash floods and mudslides for the locations that receive the greatest amounts of rainfall, especially in the areas of mountainous terrain. Please read the bulletins and forecasts from your local weather service for more information.

Broken to overcast multi-layered clouds and remnant showers, are in the NW Caribbean Sea, related to what has been moving from the Yucatan Peninsula, into the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea, from the SW Gulf of Mexico upper level trough and clouds and precipitation.

Broad upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the Caribbean Sea from 70W westward. Upper level cyclonic wind flow covers the rest of the Caribbean Sea. The upper level wind flow is at the southern end of the upper level trough that extends from the central Atlantic Ocean, southwestward. This is the same upper level trough that is near the 1015 mb Atlantic Ocean low pressure centered near 28N56W.

The tropical wave that is south of central Cuba will move across the western Caribbean Sea through Sunday. The wind speeds and the sea heights will increase in the Gulf of Honduras, early next week, as broad low pressure forms in the northern sections of Central America and southern Mexico.

OP Marty	We have had, and still having a Large ITCZ type swellup, centred on central Belize, covering most of the country but not the extreme south or north. This has, and is still bringing a lot of rain 145mm 6" so far this morning in Belmopan, and a bit more to come. We have finally been caught by one of those proper ITCZ swellups, but still small compared to some that have been around Central America. I think this confirms my saying as of Wednesday 27th May, we are in the Rainy season. There are a few patches of sun way down south, but mainly, the whole country under heavy cloud, which will probably not thin much or clear until late this morning, lighter rain continuing, with heavy rain in central north areas, and probably Belize City. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 73°F Yesterday max. 32°C 91°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0") This Morning Rain 145 mm ( 6" )

OP Marty	Storm Warning - Tropical Depression There is a potential tropical storm developing on our door step, TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO-E It is unlikely to be anything more than a Tropical depression, so no hurricane winds, but there could be a lot of rain from it. It is probably responsible for getting the new swellup over southern Belize, to be moving northwards. More rain coming up from the south National Meteorological Service of Belize: � (11 pm update) Latest Infrared (IR) Satellite Imagery and our lightning detection system show severe thunderstorm activity once again occurring over central and southern Belize. Our automatic weather station in Belmopan has recorded almost 2 inches of rainfall over the last two hours. Residents in these and other already flooded areas are asked to REMAIN ON ALERT and move to higher ground immediately as these rains are expected to continue.
