Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There is an active tropical wave moving across the western Caribbean. The tropical wave is helping produce active weather south of Cuba.

Fresh to strong winds are noted over the south central Caribbean. Elsewhere, fresh winds prevail over the north central Caribbean, moderate winds prevail over the eastern Caribbean, and light to gentle winds prevail over the western Caribbean.

The pressure gradient between high pressure north of the area and low pressure over Colombia will maintain fresh to locally strong trade winds over the south- central Caribbean this week. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate trade winds will persist across the region for the next several days. Expect increasing winds and seas over the NE Caribbean toward the end of the week as high pressure builds across the western Atlantic.

Please check the first part of the forecast - it has a section for Sargassum - but the post in that section is only general weather?

On Ambergris Caye this morning the day is sunny with predicted isolated thundershowers. A breeze from the South at 8 mph is creating a calm sea around our barrier reef. Today's expected high is 88 f.

The easterly Caribbean winds are very slow this morning. High level is milling all around in different directions, possibly a gyra or what ever they call a general anticlockwise direction, although not particularly obvious at present. Basically high cloud in many areas, but not over Belize at present. There is a sort of area to be watched, INVEST 90L but that is Texas. Another area in the Pacific, of no concern to us, and an early possible INVEST 99L activity, off Africa and now north of Brazil, that has the potential to develop.

Looks like today will be mainly sunny, but clouds developing, could be some isolated rain later.

High level clouds clashing with the Caribbean winds, are coming down from the north.
There is very little movement of the Caribbean winds.
