this was shot this morning 6.30am in Placencia Belize by a friend, On Belize radar Placencia is opposite Independence, we are a peninsula so apparently we don't count as land when a storm makes landfall such as with Iris

TO ADVERTISE ADVECTION OF DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE LOCAL
ISLANDS AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN. AS
A RESULT...ITCZ LIFTS NORTHWARD AND BETTER CHANCES OF SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS ARE ANTICIPATED LATE NEXT
WEEK THROUGH THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND.

Hi guys, some places in Guatemala had already received 5.0 inches of rain at 8:00 am this morning and in El Salvador the highest rainfall from Matthew were 3.0 inches at 7:00 am today. I've posted some observations on this thread: http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=109525&start=20

What a night in Guadeloupe. Given Meteo-France latest weather forecast (5 AM) strong tstorms have bombed in the eastern part of the island (Grande-Terre). They have reported 80 to 100 millimeters at Sainte Anne and in vicinity. In my location, nothing too strong, but constant rumbling of the thunder during the night between 3 and 5 AM with some brief episodes of strong showers. Hey looks like another bulk of moderate strong convection is racing near Dominica and Guadeloupe... let's be vigilant as usual.

El Salvador is under orange alert and one death has been reported, I think that from tomorrow and on I will start to post the observations here as the rains are now more related to the broad monsoon low than to Matthew, here is the most recent map with the rains from 7:00 am yesterday and 7:00 am today:

Re: Caribbean - Central America - Watching W Carib / PGI48L

#6697 Postby cycloneye » Sun Sep 26, 2010 4:17 pm

We will have to watch the new pouch PGI48L that may track towards the Lesser Antilles in the next few days.

http://www.met.nps.edu/~mtmontgo/PGI48L.html

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic2/pred ... 111&loop=0

The global models continue to move PGI48L generally toward the west in the extended period from about 40W at day 3 to 55-60W at day 5. The UKMET, GFS, and the GFS ensemble do not develop PGI48L, although it should be kept in mind that the ensemble members are not resolving the small vortex of PGI48L initially. The GFS forecasts moderate deep layer vertical wind shear through the extended range. On the other hand, the ECMWF does begin to strengthen PGI48L after day 4 with Okubo-Weiss values rising to about 2 x 10^-9 s^-2 by day 5. Also, the ECMWF has rising total precipitable water values through the period along with lower values of vertical wind shear compared to the GFS. The ECMWF deterministic run has support from its ensemble as well. The NOGAPS continues to show PGI48L slowly developing and maintaining itself east of the Windward Islands.

Today where I live in seine Bight its been calm 5knts or less all day top temp was 90F, last night was nice and cool 76F, The main forcast for tmorrow calls for W/NW 5 - 15 kts winds showers/isolated thunderstorm, but have included the discussion posted by Belize Met today in this they say South East winds for monday & tuesday.

NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE OF BELIZE

FORECAST DISCUSSION DATE: SUNDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2010 (AFTERNOON)

SKIES REMAINED CLOUDY ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS MORNING. RADAR OBSERVATIONS SHOWED SHOWERS AND RAIN AFFECTING THE NE COAST OF BELIZE. WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS UPPER LEVELS TO BE VERY MOIST.

AT UPPER LEVELS, WEAK RIDGING DOMINATES, BUT, MAINTAINS UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. AT 700MB, OF COURSE IT IS ALSO MOIST. A BROAD CIRCULATION REMAINS IN THE WAKE OF MATTHEW, ENCOMPASSING THE YUCATAN, PARTS OF GUATEMALA, BELIZE AND HONDURAS. THE CIRCULATION SUPPORTS A SE'LY FLOW. THE SAME CAN BE SAID AT 850MB AND THE SURFACE.

SUN. AFTERNOON TO MON. MIDDAY;

NO MAJOR CHANGES OCCUR ALOFT DURING THIS CYCLE. AT 700MB MOISTURE LEVELS REMAIN HIGH. THE CIRCULATION ENLARGES MOVING IN TO THE GULF OF MEXICO AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHWARD. THE CIRCULATION CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A SE'LY FLOW TODAY AND TONIGHT BUT SUPPORTS A BACKING OF THE WINDS TO THE WEST DURING MONDAY. THE SAME APPLIES AT 850MB AND THE SURFACE. HERE, MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT SHOWERS, THUNDERSTORMS AND PERIODS OF RAIN. THE NORTH AND SOME INLAND AREAS CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THESE ACTIVITIES THIS AFTERNOON, AND AS THE WINDS BACK UP, SHIFT TO THE COAST AND OFFSHORE WATERS.

MON. AFTERNOON TO TUES. MIDDAY:

A POLAR TROUGH DIGS DOWN INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO, ITS BASE REACHING JUST NORTH BELIZE. A WEAK ANTICYCLONE SITS OVER US. AT 700MB, MOISTURE INCREASES OVER THE SOUTH. THE FRONT MOVES FURTHER SOUTH, REACHING THE YUCATAN. A LOW FORMS EAST OF THE YUCATAN, NE OF BELIZE AND DEEPENS AS THE COLD FRONT NEARS THE AREA. THE SAME HAPPENS AT 850MB AND THE SURFACE. HERE SHOWER, THUNDERSTORM AND RAIN ACTIVITY INCREASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY OVER COASTAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS. THE CIRCULATION CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A W'LY FLOW AT THE LOWER LEVELS. THE LOW COULD QUITE WELL TURN OUT TO BE DEPRESSION #16.

FORECAST: GENERALLY CLOUDY SKIES; A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE COUNTRY; MOSTLY OVER THE NORTH AND SOME INLAND AREAS THIS AFTERNOON AND MAINLY ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT.

EXTENDED: CLOUDY SKIES WITH SOME SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE NORTH.

MARINE: WINDS: SOUTHEAST 10-20KT WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SEAS: MODERATE-ROUGH. WAVES: 5-7FT. *SMALL CRAFT CAUTION*.

FORECASTER: Wellington
