Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

A stationary front extends from central Cuba through Roatan to central Honduras. A few showers and thunderstorms are ongoing over the northwest Caribbean near the front, mainly off Belize and the coast of western Honduras. Recent buoy and scatterometer satellite data indicate moderate to fresh winds west of the front and in the lee of Cuba. The buoy data also indicates seas are likely 5 to 8 ft west of the front. The same scatterometer swath indicates fresh to strong winds off Colombia, where seas are likely 7 to 10 ft. Moderate to fresh trade winds prevail elsewhere over the eastern and central Caribbean, with 5 to 7 ft seas. Regional radar indicates scattered showers in the trade wind flow in the Atlantic waters east of the Windward Island, moving mainly toward Martinique and Dominica, with isolated showers elsewhere the northern Windward Islands and and the southern Leeward Islands.

As for the forecast: The stationary front from central Cuba to central Honduras will dissipate later today. High pressure north of the area building in the wake of the front will support fresh NE winds across the Windward Passage and in the lee of Cuba tonight into Mon. The pattern will also support overnight pulses to gale force off the coast of Colombia Sun night through mid week.

The easterly Caribbean winds with cloud are pushing strongly back over Belize, but there is s strong cool surface wind blowing from the SW, it is warmer than the previous cold air bubble that was over Belize but it is first, bring back the cold air. Meanwhile, there is still a bit of cold air trying to push down the Yucatan coast. So there is quite a lot of weather happening over Belize at present, resulting in almost continuous light rain, probably in most parts of the country.

Looks as if the heavy cloud and light rain will continue for most of the morning, less so in the north.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last Night 20°C 68°F Yesterday 23°C 74°F Yesterday Rain 0.8 mm ( 0")
