The Caribbean Sea
Fresh trade winds prevail over the south-central and eastern
Caribbean, with moderate trades in the north central Caribbean.
Scatterometer data reveals an area of fresh to strong SE winds
offshore of Honduras and Belize, with moderate SE winds
elsewhere in the northwest Caribbean. Seas of 3-6 ft are over
most of the basin, except offshore of Colombia seas are up to 7
ft.
For the forecast, fresh to strong SE winds are expected in the
NW Caribbean this weekend, and then again Tue night. Fresh to
strong trade winds will prevail across the south central
Caribbean Sun night through early next week.
An Ashfall Advisory is in effect for La Soufriere volcano on St.
Vincent.
The Caribbean winds being diverted up northwards again. Looks as if cool air has been coming down from the north Pacific, out at sea from Alaska and California, but it will be warm, even hot air, by the time it gets over Guatamala to us.
Looks like we will have largely clear sunny skies, but some cloud building, more so in the north, no rain expected.

There is some Sun driven easterly Caribbean wind, not much cloud. There is however, thin high level cloud, give a milky white appearance to the sky, which, on other occasions, can be a dark blue. My, Humidity gauge is showing 83% So another hot, uncomfortable day.
Present Condition: Clear skies throughout the country. Hot, sunny and windy in San Pedro. Hot and dry conditions prevail. *Residents, especially those inland, are advised to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activity as much as possible.* *A small craft caution is in effect for rough seas at times, in large easterly waves.*
24hr Forecast: Mostly sunny and dry this afternoon with the chance of an isolated thunderstorm developing inland. Partly cloudy skies tonight and tomorrow morning with isolated showers.
Outlook: Is for some showers and thunderstorms to develop, firstly inland and north Sunday afternoon, then over the rest of the country Sunday night. Showers will become isolated Monday morning.
Small swellup clouds now forming over the mountains, where some hot air movement from Guatamala is pushing against the almost stationary easterly Caribbean air. There could be some swellups and lightning later this afternoon over the mountains.
Serious rain and lightning up in the mountains now, moving in over all Cayo district and into Belize district, and even a small lightning up near Blue Creek.
