Belize Weather Forecast: September 18, 2021
General Situation:
The Caribbean Sea There are two tropical waves in the Atlantic, and one in the Caribbean. The Atlantic ridge north of the basin is maintaining fresh to strong trade winds over the south- central Caribbean, particularly off Colombia. A recent altimeter satellite pass indicated seas to 8 ft about 120 nm northwest of Cartagena. Fresh to strong E winds were noted in the Gulf of Honduras by an earlier scatterometer satellite pass. Mostly moderate winds and sea persist elsewhere. A few showers and thunderstorms are active off the southern peninsula of Haiti, as well as from western Panama to southeast Nicaragua. For the forecast, the Atlantic ridge will shift westward through Sun, as Tropical Storm Odette, off the middle Atlantic coast, lifts northward. This will support fresh to strong winds over the south- central Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras into early Sun. The ridge will weaken starting Sun night as a tropical wave and area of low pressure currently across the central Atlantic move to the northeast of the Leeward Islands early Mon, then begin to move more NW. There is a high chance this low pressure will form into a tropical cyclone over the next several days. Regardless of further development, expect increase winds, seas and thunderstorms north through east of the Leewards early next week.
