Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

Moderate trade winds will prevail in the central and eastern Caribbean through late Tue as Hurricane Paulette continue to move northwest and then northeast over the north- central Atlantic waters. Surface ridging will establish over the SW Atlantic waters afterwards, resulting in moderate to fresh trades in the central and eastern Caribbean. Moderate southeast winds are expected to continue in the NW basin through Tue. Otherwise, large swell associated with current Tropical Depression Twenty is forecast to affect the tropical Atlantic waters E of the Leeward Islands by the middle of the week.

OP Marty	The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently upgraded Hurricane Paulette and Tropical Depression Rene, both located over the central Atlantic Ocean, on Tropical Storm Sally, centered over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, and on Tropical Depression Twenty, located over the eastern tropical Atlantic. A surface trough over the west-central Gulf of Mexico is producing limited shower activity. While some slow development of this system is possible, strong upper-level winds associated with Tropical Storm Sally will probably limit the chances of tropical cyclone formation through Monday. The disturbance is forecast to move southwestward and then southward over the west-central and southwestern Gulf of Mexico through the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. Showers and thunderstorms located near and west of the Cabo Verde Islands are associated with a broad area of low pressure. Environmental conditions support some additional development, and a tropical depression could form over the far eastern tropical Atlantic during the next couple of days while the system moves slowly west-northwestward. By mid-week, however, upper-level winds should become less conducive for development. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent. A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa around mid-week. Some gradual development of the system will be possible thereafter as the disturbance moves slowly westward over the far eastern tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

OP Marty	That is certainly causing the Caribbean winds to be going in the wrong direction across Belize, and up over Cuba. But probably not much influence over the high level winds clashing causing the Swellups and rain. Today looks a bit like a rerun of yesterday, cloud or patchy sunshine with swellups likely do develop later today. Presently a surface "Tiger" wind from the SW Looks as if today will be a mixture of sun and cloud, then an increasing chance of swellups and rain at first small areas, later larger and heavier rains. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 34°C 92°F Yesterday Rain 45 mm ( 1.8")

OP Marty	Clouds developing now, in several places and some could be causing some rain. . . Probably more rain later this afternoon. That TROPICAL STORM SALLY is pulling Caribbean air up into it. Right now, there are a whole bunch of storms or potential storms, including HURRICANE PAULETTE which may get to Cat.2 and hit Bermuda, out there in the Atlantic.
