The Caribbean Sea

GOES-16 water vapor channels show dry air in the low to mid levels over the central and western Caribbean. This is due to mid-level ridging, which is causing subsidence. A sharp upper trough persists from over the central Atlantic to the Mona Passage to northeast Nicaragua. This is also acting to suppress showers along and NW of the upper trough axis. However, some showers are occurring SE of the upper-trough axis, between the ABC Islands and the Leeward Islands. Patchy areas of smoke are possible in the northwest Caribbean including the Gulf of Honduras due to ongoing agricultural fires over portions of Central America. This smoke and associated haze may reduce visibilities.

The pressure gradient between high pressure over the western Atlantic and lower pressure inland over Mexico is tight enough to support fresh E winds off the coast of Honduras. However, the high pressure is weak enough that gentle to moderate trade winds are noted elsewhere across the basin. Seas are 4-6 ft in the Gulf of Honduras and 2-4 ft elsewhere.

For the forecast, fresh E to SE winds will prevail in the Gulf of Honduras through Sun. Then, winds will increase to fresh to strong Sun night through Wed night as the pressure gradient tightens between the Atlantic ridge and lower pressures over the Gulf of Mexico. Gentle to moderate winds will continue elsewhere across the basin through Sun, becoming moderate to fresh across most of the Caribbean early next week.

Beautiful morning!
The easterly Caribbean winds are in control of the whole area. I am not seeing traces of all that haze that we had for the last two or more days.

Looks like it will be a hot day, but some cloud is already developing, probably no rain.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last Night 23°C 73°F 32°C 90°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0")

We are getting increased amount of clouds, still presently sharp in shape, but starting to get blurred in the distance, yesterday they became blurred or just hazy everywhere. Perhaps due to "Particulates" in the atmosphere, possibly due to small fibres from all those Fires.
