A cold frontal boundary associated with this system will usher a cooler air mass over the region. This cold air will interact with warmer air in place. The interaction will generate isolated thunderstorms in Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango and Nayarit. Mazatlan, Mexico, will experience stormy conditions starting in the late morning with a high of 76(F)/ 24(C). By the afternoon and evening, moderate to heavy precipitation and embedded thunderstorms will spread eastward over the northeastern quadrant of Mexico. Severe thunderstorms will be possible along the border between the southern tip of Texas and Mexico. These thunderstorms will be capable of producing large hail, dangerous straight line winds and isolated tornadoes. Reynosa, Mexico, will experience late evening thunderstorms with a high of 87(F)/ 30(C).

From Belmopan...

The high level cloud continues to dominate our weather, there is only slight Caribbean ENE wind, which has a lot of cloud in it, probably caused by the high level cloud cover and cool air from the north. There are massive areas of rain out there presently, but they are now out at sea and going away. This is leaving smaller patches of light rain in any part of Belize. But the high cloud is thinning, so things should improve in the next few days.

Looks as if the over night rain will be easing off and we may even have some sunshine later, just the odd rain shower.


Temperatures in Belmopan :
Today is probably going to be Similar, to yesterday : Sun, max. 28°C 80°F Last night min. 22°C 72°F ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )

I know. But why would it be called a Caribbean forecast then?

they must consider the mountains of northern Mexico to be part of the Caribbean, seems a stretch!
