The Caribbean Sea

The tight pressure gradient as a result of the 1031 mb subtropical ridge over the NW Atlantic and lower pressures over northern South America result in fresh to strong trades in the central and NE Caribbean Sea. The strongest winds are occurring offshore southern Hispaniola and offshore NW Colombia, as indicated by a recent scatterometer satellite pass. Seas of 5-8 ft are present in the central, SW and eastern Caribbean Sea. A recent altimeter satellite pass showed 8-9 ft seas offshore NW Colombia. Moderate or weaker winds are found in the rest of the basin, except for locally fresh trades off the lee of Cuba and the Gulf of Honduras. Seas of 2-5 ft prevail in the NW Caribbean. The weather conditions remain fairly tranquil due to a dry airmass dominating the basin.

For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the ridge across the northern Caribbean and the Colombian/Panamanian low will continue to support fresh to strong easterly trades over the south-central Caribbean through the weekend and early next week. Moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere. High pressure will continue to strengthen over the western Atlantic through the forecast period, resulting in pulsing fresh to locally strong northeast winds and building seas in the Windward Passage, the lee of Cuba and south of Hispaniola.

The easterly Caribbean winds are still coming in strongly from the east, but, at the same time, a new cold front air is coming down from the NW, so cloud is forming.. . There was a swellup over southern Toledo earlier causing very significant train down there and that rain is continuing for a couple of hours. There are also patches of rain in some north and central areas. Despite the cool air coming down, last night was the warmest night for a month.

Looks as if today will be significantly clouds, some sunshine patches, but a high chance of some rain showers.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last Night 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 30°C 86°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0") Over Night Rain 0 mm ( 0" )

Clashing causing rain areas.

All a bit complicated at present. The cool air trying to push down, but being opposed by the easterly Caribbean winds.
