Marine Conditions:
Phoenix Resort in San Pedro
The Caribbean Sea
There are three tropical waves in the Atlantic, and none in the Caribbean.
An upper-level low near the Island of Youth is resulting in
unsettled weather in the form of scattered showers and
thunderstorms near the southern coast of Cuba and east coast of
the Yucatan Peninsula. Convergent trades are producing similar
conditions over the southeastern basin near the ABC Islands, where
the added ingredient of a nearby upper-level trough is further
enhancing this activity. Refer to the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ section
for additional weather in the basin. Fresh to strong northeast to
east trade winds along with seas of 6-8 ft seas are present in
the south-central section of the basin, north of Colombia. Gentle
northeast to east trade winds and seas of 3-4 ft are in the
northwestern section of the basin. Moderate to locally fresh
easterly trade winds and seas of 5-7 ft prevail for the remainder
of the basin.
For the forecast, winds will pulse to fresh to strong over the
central Caribbean, while freshen over the eastern Caribbean
through Sun. Gentle to moderate winds and slight seas will
persist over the northwestern Caribbean into early next week.
The tropical Atlantic looks to remain calm for another 5-7 days. tThereis a low chance for development for now, but keep an eye out for this Tropical Wave over Africa.

On Ambergris Caye this morning we have a 11 mph wind from the East. Light chop and fair weather is the forecast. Today's expected high temperature is set at 89f.
The easterly Caribbean has some lines of cloud in it, particularly over Corozal area and a few patches elsewhere making some rain patches. The main high level winds are over Honduras from the WSW but there is another high level coming down from the States.
Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, but with significant cloud and patches of rain this morning.
Last Night 25 °C 77 °F Yesterday max. 33 °C 91 °F Yesterday Rain 4.0 mm ( 0.16 " ) Over Night Rain 0 mm ( 0 " ) Humidity this Morning 99 %

Weather balloon observations and satellite images show two vortexes over the southwest and northeast of the Yucatan Peninsula. They will bring instability in combination with our mayan trough.
