The Caribbean Sea

The tail end of a frontal boundary remains stalled over the northwestern Caribbean Sea from eastern Cuba to the Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered showers are possible along the boundary, but no convection is occurring at the moment due to widespread dry air in the mid- and upper-levels. Scatterometer data depicts light to moderate easterly winds on either side of the stationary front. Moderate to fresh easterly winds prevail across the southern portion of the Caribbean while light and gentle north of 15N. Scattered showers are also possible over the eastern Caribbean Sea near a weak surface trough. Seas range 2-5 ft with upwards of 7 ft north of Colombia.

A weakening stationary will dissipate through Sat. Fresh to occasionally strong winds will prevail in the southern Caribbean through Sun. Winds will pulse to gale force off the coast of Colombia Mon night and Tue night. A cold front will move into the northwest Caribbean late Sat night through Sun, and gradually stall from Hispaniola to Honduras by Tue. Strong NE winds and building seas will follow the front over the western Caribbean.

Of note...A week-long period of intermittent heavy rains is expected over Ecuador, SW Colombia and northern Peru in association with a robust wet pulse of the Madden Julian Oscillation, arriving to the area this weekend.

OP Marty	Beautiful bird! Rather mixed up weather right now. Strong high level from the WSW, very slow easterly Caribbean winds at present, a trace of cool front over the Caribbean, but only a trace, but there is a warm bubble come up from the south, right in front of Belize with significant cloud. Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, with some clouds developing later, probably no rain. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 22°C 72°F Yesterday 30°C 86°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0")
