Area of Low Pressure Brings Heavy Rain to Parts of Central America

We are getting a well deserved break from tropical activity. We have been watching an area of low pressure sitting off the coast of Honduras. It is bringing widespread cloud cover and heavy rainfall to the western Caribbean. The system will continue moving west over Belize and into the Yucatan Peninsula later today. Once it begins interacting with the land mass it will quickly weaken. The main impact will be gusty winds and heavy rain which could lead to flash flooding in Belize and the eastern Yucatan Peninsula.

Short Window of Development for Tropical Wave in Caribbean

A broad area of low pressure is getting better organized in the Caribbean. The system is headed west northwest and has a narrow window of development before it encounters land. It could briefly strengthen into a tropical depression before it moves over land by Tuesday. Regardless of classification, the main impact will be heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding in parts of Central America over the next few days. .
