The Caribbean Sea
Scattered showers are over the Yucatan Channel and portions of
the far NW Caribbean associated with a cold front moving across
the SE Gulf of Mexico and entering the Caribbean Basin. A surface
trough is noted ahead of the front stretching from western Cuba
to Belize. A 1015 mb surface high is observed in the western
Caribbean near 18N84W, supporting gentle anticyclonic winds and
calm seas. Elsewhere across the basin, fresh trades prevail, with
seas 6 to 7 ft south of 14N across the waters from the A-B-C
Islands to NW Colombia.
Fresh to strong tradewinds will prevail in the southern Caribbean
today before strengthening basin wide. Winds will pulse to gale
force off the coast of Colombia Mon night and Tue night. A cold
front entering the northwest Caribbean this morning will move SE
through Mon and then stall from Hispaniola to Honduras by Tue.
Strong NE winds and building seas will prevail behind 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. Rainfall totals
of 200-300 mm (8-12 in) are expected in coastal Ecuador and SW
Colombia, and 100-200 mm (4-8 in) of rainfall are expected over
northern Peru and the Eje Cafetero region of Colombia. Please
refer to the forecasts of your local meteorological offices for
more details.
New cold front to hit the northern part of Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula
A cold front is already over the Gulf of Mexico and in the next few hours it will reach the Yucatan peninsula, its prefrontal trough favors cloudiness with weak to moderate rains in the south and southeast of Mexico as well as a moderate north event and a slight drop in temperatures.
On Sunday the cold front will extend to the northern part of Belize, and the center of Cuba where it will also favor with cloudiness and scattered rains, especially some stronger rains that may occur in northern part of Guatemala, Belize, northwest of Honduras, on Monday the cold front will advance over the Caribbean with stationary characteristics extending over Haiti, to the border area of Honduras and Nicaragua favoring showers, scattered rains on the Caribbean coast of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and a cooling in temperatures.

On Ambergris Caye this morning we have a Northerner with a 14 mph wind. The sea around our Barrier reef is calm but in the island's lee, beyond our lee the sea is rough. Today will be sunny and cool with an expected high temperature of 82 f.
The cool air from the north is controlling the whole area, and further south, mixing with what was the warmer Caribbean air and producing a lot of clouds, with a trace of high level from the WSW
Looks as if today will be a mixture of clouds and sun, but probably little or no rain, could be some later.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 22°C 71°F Yesterday 31°C 88°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0")
Present Condition: Partly cloudy. A relatively moist northerly airflow prevails over the area.
24hr Forecast: Skies will be cloudy at times. A few showers and periods of rain will occur mostly offshore this afternoon, and then over southern areas tonight and tomorrow morning.
Outlook: For Monday afternoon through to midday on Tuesday is for a few showers and periods of rain occurring over most areas, but especially over central and southern areas of the country.
