The Caribbean Sea
Broken to overcast low-level clouds, and isolated moderate
rainshowers, cover the rest of the Caribbean Sea. The clouds and
isolated moderate precipitation are moving with the surface to
low-level wind flow.
The scatterometer winds show that near-gale force NE winds are
within 135 nm of the coast of Colombia between 71W-76W. Strong
NE winds are within 180 nm to 300 nm of the rest of the coast of
Colombia, and NW Venezuela, between 71W-80W. Sea heights that
are ranging from 8 to 10 ft are within 380 nm of the coast of
Colombia. Fresh NE to E winds are within 60 nm to the north of
the coast of Honduras between 86W and 88W. Expect fresh NE winds
in the Windward Passage. The sea heights are ranging from 5 to 6
ft off the coast of Honduras and in the Windward Passage.
Fresh to strong trades will prevail in the central sections of
the Caribbean Sea through early Thursday, as high pressure
resides offshore the NE Florida coast. The wind speeds will
diminish significantly, from Thu through early next week, as the
high collapses. Fresh winds are expected to pulse to strong in
the southern Gulf of Honduras and the Windward Passage tonight.
The third Tropical Wave is taking off the coast of Africa, while the second continues westward in Atlantic waters.
The first Tropical Waves are usually weak and usually don't have favorable conditions to evolve into a cyclonic system.
Now for the next few months, this area where these Waves transit will start to become favorable, and that's when cyclonic development happens when a number of factors are combined.
On Ambergris Caye this morning we have wind from the East at 13 mph. and a calm sea condition around our barrier reef. Today's expected high temperature is set at 88f.
This morning, as far as Belize is concerned, is a much more stable day, easterly Caribbean winds with normal clouds. But there is a little heavier Caribbean cloud coming in later to central parts. Most high level cloud is missing Belize this morning.
Looks as if most of Belize will have a largely sunny day, with normal clouds, a small chance of some rain, more so down south.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 24°C 75°F Yesterday max. 32°C 89°F Yesterday Rain 6.5 mm ( 0.3") Over Night Rain 0.2 mm ( 0" )
