Belize Weather Forecast: December 10, 2022
General Situation:
The Caribbean Sea The pressure gradient between subtropical high pressure in the western Atlantic and lower pressure over Colombia is generating moderate to fresh NE winds west of 73W in Caribbean, including the Windward Passage, where seas are in the 5 to 6 ft range. Fresh to strong NE winds are pulsing off NW Colombia coast, generating seas to 7 ft. In the E Caribbean, gentle to moderate N to NE winds prevail with mainly 4 to 6 ft seas. Seas are 8 to 10 ft near and SW of Atlantic passages due to long period NE swell originating from the strong low system in the central Atlantic. For the forecast, large NE swell across the central Atlantic will continue move through the Caribbean Passages and Tropical Atlantic waters through today, decreasing on Sun and increasing again early next week as another swell event reaches the region. Surface ridging north of the Caribbean maintains NE-E winds across much of the forecast waters. Fresh to strong pulsing NE-E winds will occur in offshore Colombia into early next week.
