The Pacific Northeast remains active with 2 low pressure systems under watch. There is one that has a high likelihood of a tropical depression forming near the end of the weekend. The first low pressure area is well south of Cabo San Lucas with a 20% chance for 5 days being low. The second broad area of low pressure is located south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec and has a high likelihood of a Tropical Cyclone forming near the weekend. It currently has 30% for 48 hours and a 70% to 5 days, the conditions are favorable for development and this will increase. Global models support the development of this system.



The NOAA Weather Forecast Center shows us that across the red area and white bars the chances of cyclonic development for the first week of June are moderate, while throughout the green area from part of Colombia to Mexico, it indicates that rains will be above normal.

On Ambergris Caye this morning the strong winds are still with us. Currently, a 23 mph wind from the East is creating rough sea conditions around our barrier reef.

The weather has sort of got back to normal, at least for this morning, Caribbean winds from the ESE, only a little high level from the SW. But there is major cloud rolling activity down south over Nicaragua and the southern Caribbean. The weather in are area, that is the Gulf to Panama is in a very unsettled state, so i expect more rain over the next few days.

Looks like this morning will be sun and cloud, no rain, but clouds developing this afternoon and could be rain over the mountains. No rain anywhere on the Radar at present.

Last Night 23 °C 76 °F Yesterday max. 34 °C 88 °F Yesterday Rain 0.2 mm ( 0 " ) Over Night Rain 0 mm ( 0 " )
