...ELSA MOVING NORTHWARD ALMOST PARALLEL TO THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA...

At 5 a.m. EDT, the center of Tropical Storm Elsa was located west of the Florida coastline about 70 miles (115 km) west-northwest of Tampa and about 50 miles (75 km) south-southwest of Cedar Key. It's moving toward the north near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn toward the north near 14 mph (22 km/h), and a general northward motion is expected to continue through this afternoon. A turn toward the north-northeast is expected late this afternoon or tonight, followed by a faster northeastward motion by late Thursday. On the forecast track, Elsa will move near or over portions of the west coast of Florida this morning, then make landfall along the north Florida Gulf coast by late this morning or this afternoon. The storm should then move across the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States through Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds are now near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) from the center. Some fluctuations in the intensity are possible until landfall later today. Weakening will begin after Elsa moves inland.

OP Marty	We are monitoring multiple tropical waves tracking to the west across the Atlantic Ocean basin. Sahara Dust is plentiful across the tropical Atlantic Ocean; thus, cyclone development is NOT expected thru July 11, 2021. The dense cloud of dust is starting to penetrate the Caribbean later on it will spread to South America and Central America and part of Mexico.

OP Marty	The easterly Caribbean winds have a little cloud in them, there are several different directions of high level, non moving about very much, they are causing a blanket of cloud over most of Belize, but not causing any rain. No rain on the radar at this time. Looks as if today will be a mixture of cloud and some sunshine, and probably little or no rain. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 25°C 78°F Yesterday max. 34°C 92°F Yesterday Rain 0.2 mm ( 0.0")
