The Caribbean Sea

There are several tropical waves moving across the basin. Except for the Gulf of Honduras and adjacent waters between Panama and Colombia where scattered showers and tstms are observed, the remainder basin is under the influence of a Saharan Air Layer event, which is likely limiting visibility E of 80W.

The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge N of the area and lower pressure over northern Colombia will maintain fresh to strong trade winds in the south-central Caribbean through the weekend. Fresh to strong winds are expected in the Gulf of Honduras tonight and Wed night. A tropical wave over the western Caribbean will move out of the basin through tonight. Another tropical wave farther east in the central Atlantic will approach the eastern Caribbean by Thu night, and move across the central Caribbean during the weekend.

I should have mentioned yesterday, that there was high level movements from the north, well today that has caught up with the easterly Caribbean winds and now causing a lot of clashing in the Caribbean off Honduras. And the Caribbean winds are bringing that action in to Belize today.

This morning will be a mixture of sun and clouds, more sun in the north, but clouds developing. Then the swellups will be moving in, probably Stann Creak district first, followed by Cayo and Belize districts and then the south generally. This could be on and off rain, some heavy, events over much of the day. The north might missing out.

Rapidly changing situations.
The high swellups are throwing out cloud at north Belize now.
But the earlier threat to central Belize, the ITCZ activity appears to be fizzling out as it gets closer to the coast line.
There have been several small swellups and rain down near PG, but even these now moved away.
So there still can be some isolated rain showers around anywhere.

Torrential rains overnight in the Toledo district has resulted in flooding of the Southern Highway in Jacinto village.
The Barranco junction is reported to be under water and portions of the highway as impassable as of 6:00 a.m.
