The Caribbean Sea
A dissipating stationary front extends across Hispaniola to just
southeast of Jamaica to 16N80W with isolated to scattered showers
within 60-90 nm either side of the front, extending SW-W to
Honduras. Fresh to strong NE winds are blowing through the
Windward Passage and also in the Lee of Cuba.
A surface trough is across northern Colombia with deep convection
persisting across portions of central and northern Colombia.
Frequent lightning and heavy rainfall is likely occurring with
this convection. Refer to your local national meteorological
agency for more details.
Fresh to strong NE-E winds are occurring in the south-central
Caribbean offshore of northern Colombia and in the Gulf of
Venezuela. Mainly moderate to locally fresh trades dominate the
remainder of the basin. Isolated rainshowers are possible,
embedded in the trade wind flow. Seas are mainly in the 4-7 ft
range west of 73W, and 3-5 ft east of 73W, higher near Atlantic
passages.
The stationary front is expected to continue dissipating through
today. Fresh to strong winds and moderate seas west of the front
will persist in the Lee of Cuba and across the approach to the
Windward Passage through the early part of the week. High pressure
in the Atlantic will support fresh to strong trade winds in the
south- central Caribbean through Tue night, with the highest winds
near the Colombia coast.
There are three levels of cloud over Belize at present, and some sunshine. The Caribbean ENE winds are resuming more normally, but there is also a mid-level cloud movement up from the south and presently we are right in the middle of a lot of high-level from the Pacific, going right up into the north Atlantic.
Looks as if today will be rather variable, patches of sunshine, a lot of cloud at different heights, a chance of the odd rain shower.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 23°C 73°F 29°C 83°F Yesterday Rain 1.1 mm ( 0.1")
