The Caribbean Sea

A tropical wave is moving across the western Caribbean while another wave is approaching the Lesser Antilles.

The eastern Pacific Ocean monsoon trough extends across Panama to NW Colombia near 10N75W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 07N to 10N between 75W and 81W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are noted in the NW Caribbean including across the Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Channel, and western Cuba around a broad area of low pressure northwest of the basin in the SW Gulf of Mexico. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are occurring in the eastern Caribbean ahead of an approaching tropical wave.

Fresh to strong NE-E winds were captured by overnight scatterometer data in the S central Caribbean. Fresh to strong E-SE winds are pulsing in the NW Caribbean northeast of the Gulf of Honduras. Mainly moderate to fresh trades prevail elsewhere, except gentle to moderate in the SW Caribbean south of 11N. Seas of 2 to 4 ft are in the SW Caribbean south of 11N, with mainly 4-7 ft seas elsewhere, locally to 8 ft in the S central Caribbean.

For the forecast, a ridge of high pressure north of the basin combined with lower pressure over Central America and Colombia will support pulsing fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras through the upcoming weekend and into early next week. Moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere, except light to gentle south of 11N.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

In the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, we continue to monitor a broad area of low pressure, Invest 92L, for tropical development. Satellite images this morning show this broad area of low pressure, 92L, remaining poorly organized as much of the convection is displaced well to the east of the low-level center. As this low drifts slowly northward today, 92L should slowly become better organized, and we expect 92L could become a tropical depression by tonight or Friday. Some additional strengthening is likely Friday as the system moves northward in the western Gulf of Mexico. This system will likely become a tropical storm prior to reaching the United States coast this weekend. The next name in the Atlantic is Claudette.

Elsewhere, there are a few tropical waves currently found across the basin. These waves are near 81 west, 59 west and 38 west. These tropical waves are moving westward at generally 10-15 mph. The wave near 81 west will move into the southern Gulf of Mexico Friday and may help to further the potential tropical development of Invest 92L.

Weather analysis shows low pressure with cyclonic potential off the shores of Campeche. It's interacting with a tropical wave south of the peninsula.

A lot of ITCZ activity around us at present, causing a lot of rain, but actually only a small amount in Belize. The Rain Radar stopped working early this morning, the rain shown has now moved further up north. There are different directions of high level cloud clashing and no Caribbean winds getting to us as yet, there is a slight SW Tiger wind.

Looks as if today will again be very cloudy, but actually some sun getting through occasionally, there could be more rain moving in from the west later this morning.

From Belmopan
As those in central areas have realised, we are in the middle of a very significant swellup and a lot of lightning.

Just had one strike very, very close to my house . . . Lights went Off for 10 seconds, but I had already changed my computers over to my Inverter system.. . . Two more lights off for 5 seconds with more lightning strikes.
