Sargassum Forecast from April 13 to April 21: Latest satellite imagery suggests that sargassum is increasing over the area and there is a medium to high chance that some mats could affect local beaches in the coming days. San Pedro has a high probability and a moderate impact.

The Caribbean Sea

Scattered moderate convection remains in the Gulf of Honduras, otherwise dry air is supporting fair weather conditions over the basin. A pressure gradient between lower pressure over Colombia and a surface high pressure over the central Atlantic extending into the northern Caribbean continues to support fresh to strong winds over the south-central basin with seas to 9 ft and moderate to locally fresh SE winds in the Gulf of Honduras. Moderate trade winds with seas to 7 ft are elsewhere.

The ridge N of the area will shift east ahead of a weak front moving through the Gulf allowing trade winds to increase over mainly the south central Caribbean through mid week. Looking ahead, the trade winds will diminish by late week as the high pressure shifts eastward, although fresh to strong winds will persist off Colombia.

An Ashfall Advisory is in effect for La Soufriere volcano on the island of St. Vincent.

A combination of dust from the Sahara and sulfur dioxide from the La Soufriere volcano eruption is reaching Venezuela, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba, Central America and South Florida. These combinations will remain for several days in the Caribbean countries and will probably be arriving in Central America after April 20. Extreme precautions are recommended for allergy sufferers and the general public.

WOW! the birds are hanging out this morning on the driftwood!

That very active front is still active over the Gulf and across central Florida, and a bit in western Guatamala. The winds over Belize are from the WSW with some mid-level and some high level clouds, but sunny through all that.

Looks as if today will be a mixture of sun and cloud, there could be more swellups this afternoon.

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I hitchhiked on the island! I write about picking up hitchhikers in my book...and how it's such a great way to meet people who live here and just do a nice favor but yesterday...our golf cart wouldn't start and I NEEDED to get a ride.

A lovely family of three picked me up - THANK YOU. Success!

There was a police checkpoint - checking drivers' licenses and registrations and mandatory mask-wearing - and a HUGE line-up. Due to the all-day planned power outage, EVERYONE had spent the day at Secret Beach or up north...

There was a good deal of grumbling and the wait was...10 to 15 mins?

The Caribbean wind is pushing back, pushing the colds to the west.
