Sargassum Forecast from August 05, 2020 to August 12, 2020:
Observations offshore Belize suggests that sargassum has decreased during the past few days. However a few mats were still noted well offshore the country and there is a medium chance of sargassum affecting local beaches in the coming week. San Pedro has a medium probability and a moderate expected impact.
Tropical Weather Outlook:
An area of disturbed weather associated with a tropical wave a few hundred miles SSW of the Cape Verde Islands has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression during the next few days as it moves generally westward.

Marine Conditions:
The Caribbean Sea
Numerous moderate to strong thunderstorms are noted in GOES-16
satellite and lightning data over the Gulf of Honduras and along
the coast of Central America, near a tropical wave along 84W as
well as an active eastern Pacific monsoon trough. Overnight
scatterometer data showed near gale-force winds in the Gulf of
Venezuela and near the coast of Colombia, with fresh to strong
trades elsewhere across the central Caribbean. These winds are
building seas to 8-12 ft from 11N to 17N between 72W and 82W.
Fresh to perhaps locally strong winds are occurring in the Gulf of
Honduras, and fresh winds continue through the Windward Passage
this morning.
Fresh to strong trade winds will prevail across the south-central
Caribbean waters this week, with near gale-force winds expected
to pulse near the coast of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela.
Fresh to strong winds will pulse for the next couple nights
through the Windward Passage. Winds and seas may increase over the
Tropical N Atlantic waters during the middle and latter parts of
this week as a couple of tropical waves cross the region.
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave labeled INVEST 95L located about 2,300 miles ESE of the #LesserAntilles continue to show signs of organization and a tropical depression could form during the next few days as environmental conditions appear to be conducive enough to support additional development. There is a 60% chance of development in the next 5 days.
Conditions are likely to become LESS favorable for further development later in the week as the system approaches the islands.

There has been a massive swellup over Honduras, which is now sending a high level shock wave over Belize, and rain last night and shooting very high level cloud out over the Caribbean towards the east, very similar to what a tropical storm does. This might be associated with that seriously heavy ITCZ area over Nicaragua now for several days.
Looks as if today is going to be rather mixed, could be sunny in a number of places, will have a lot of cloud and could be rain showers, some heavy, in some places, during the day.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 75°F Yesterday max. 32°C 90°F Yesterday Rain 22 mm ( 0.9") 89% Humid
Present Condition: Cloudy. An approaching tropical wave is affecting the country. 24hr Forecast: Cloudy skies with a few showers, thunderstorms and periods of rain affecting most places this afternoon, then mainly the south and some coastal areas tonight. Showers and thunderstorms will then become generally isolated tomorrow morning. *A small craft caution remains in effect for gusty winds and locally rough seas near heavy showers and thunderstorms. **A flood warning is in effect for residents along rivers and streams in the south and west of the country. **A flood watch remains in effect for low-lying and flood prone areas, elsewhere.
