Press release from Abergris Cayes (San Pedro) belize
Ernesto is tropical storm again, after making landfall last night on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, at 11pm EDT just north of the Belize/Mexico border as a Category 1 hurricane with 85mph winds. Belize radar shows that Ernesto’s eyewall has collapsed, but the storm has remained well-organized during its passage over the Yucatan Peninsula.
As residents of San Pedro expected to wake up to much better weather conditions this morning, Wednesday, August 8, 2012, they were surprised to see a very gloomy day with what seems like more rain and gustier winds as compared to yesterday and last night. Even though TS Ernesto is well inland, the storm is well organized and still bringing heavy rainfall to Mexico and the northern part of Belize.
NEMO has declared an “ALL CLEAR” for the entire country of Belize as of 9:30a.m. but advises people in the Northern part of the country that they will continue to experience gusty winds.
In San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, there has been reported about 2.4 inches of rainfall within the last 24 hours with maximum wind gusts reaching 40mph, coming in from the south east. Ambergris Caye and northern Belize were spared from the hurricane weather conditions of a direct hit from Ernesto. The island is currently experiencing heavy rains and strong wind gusts being produced by the outer rain bands of TS Ernesto as tropical force winds extend outwards up to 160 miles from the center. Preliminary inspections around the island indicate no damages as San Pedro is only riding out heavy rains and intermittent strong wind gusts.
The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) has indicated that the Phillip Goldson International Airport and all other Municipal airstrips remain operational, except for Corozal, Sarteneja, San Pedro, Caye Caulker and Tower Hill Municipal airstrips which are closed until further notice. Stay Tuned for further advisories from NEMO and the National Meteorological Service.

Also heard this mrnig that late last night some SW winds come through Placencia which kicked up some 2 ft waves down near the point, its normally pretty flat out there with maybe the odd 5" wave. Guess we sometimes underestimate the back end of those rain bands.

305 PM AST WED AUG 8 2012
.SYNOPSIS...SURFACE HIGH OVER THE ATLANTIC AND TUTT LOW TO THE
WEST OF THE LOCAL AREA. MID TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO MOVE INTO THE
LOCAL AREA AS THE TUTT LOW MOVES WEST...TROPICAL WAVE IS NOW OVER
THE HISPANIOLA AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING WEST.
&&
.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS HAVE LINGERED ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN WATERS
AND THE MONA PASSAGE TODAY AS THE TROPICAL WAVE CONTINUED TO MOVE
WEST AND INTERACTING WITH THE TUTT. EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKED LIKE A
GOOD SCENARIO FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PUERTO
RICO...THE AREA REMAINED OVERCAST THROUGH THE DAY...WHICH
INHIBITED THE CONVECTION. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE
IN AND BRIEFLY AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE LOCAL AREA BUT THESE
SHOWERS ARE MOVING QUICKLY.
OVERNIGHT...SHOWER ACTIVITY MAY INCREASE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS
AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE PASS TO THE NORTHEAST OF
THE LOCAL AREA. ALSO FOR TOMORROW THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF MOISTURE
AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT CONVECTION POTENTIAL IS
MODERATE...THEREFORE WITH AN EAST SOUTHEAST FLOW...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN
SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO...THE MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE NORTH WESTERN SECTIONS DUE TO SEA BREEZE CONVERGENT
INTERACTING WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED VARIABLES. HOWEVER...THERE IS
A MID TO UPPER RIDGE MOVING IN WHICH CAN LIMIT CONVECTION IF IT
BRINGS ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

.DISCUSSION...A GOOD DEAL OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA
WILL CONTINUE TO COMBINE WITH LOCAL EFFECTS AND DIURNAL HEATING TO
PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS THROUGHOUT
THE DAY. THE EXPECTED WEATHER REGIMEN INCLUDES PASSING SHOWERS ACROSS
THE NORTH AND EAST COASTAL SECTIONS OF THE ISLANDS DURING THE MORNING
HOURS...FOLLOWED BY AFTERNOON CONVECTION WHICH WILL BE MAINLY FOCUSED
ACROSS WEST AND NORTHWEST PUERTO RICO. LOW-LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO VEER EAST SOUTHEAST AS THE REMNANTS OF FLORENCE PASS TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN WARM TO HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. A
DRIER AIR MASS WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND WILL
COMBINE WITH AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE PATTERN TO PRODUCE FAIR WEATHER
CONDITIONS WITH MINIMAL SHOWER ACTIVITY FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT
LEAST SUNDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME...INVEST 92L IS FORECAST TO

Invest 92L:
I am closely monitoring an area of disturbed weather, designated Invest 92L by the National Hurricane Center, located over the eastern Atlantic this morning. It seems very likely that this system will become our next named storm either as early as late today or more likely during the day on Friday.
Satellite loops over the past several hours indicate that 92L is now tracking west-southwestward rather than westward. This west-southwestward motion is caused by a small ridge of high pressure that is positioned northeast to southwest over the central Atlantic. Environmental conditions are favorable over 92L and are expected to remain favorable for the next couple of days or so. Even with the favorable conditions, I expect slow development and intensification as it tracks westward over the next several days.
Now, what does the future hold for Invest 92L? Well, as I mentioned I do think that it will become our next named storm (Gordon) as early as late today or more likely on Friday. From there, I suspect we will see slow, but steady strengthening with this system potentially impacting the Lesser Antilles, most likely between the islands of Guadeloupe and St. Lucia on Saturday afternoon as a 45 to 55 mph tropical storm. Once 92L/Gordon reaches the Caribbean, it may end up staying as a steady-state tropical storm or weaken due to unfavorable environmental conditions; but, as we saw with Ernesto, it did not dissipate and this could very well become the case with this system late this weekend into next week as it tracks westward across the Caribbean; in fact, it would not surprise me at all to see 92L/Gordon follow an extremely similar path that Ernesto has taken due to that the fact that the upper-level pattern remains the same as it did with Ernesto.
Those of you in the Lesser Antilles, especially between the islands of Guadeloupe and St. Lucia, as well as on the island of Barbados, you should be aware that tropical storm conditions seem likely during the day Saturday and possibly continuing into Saturday evening. Expect tropical storm force winds with gusts to 60 mph, very heavy rainfall with the risk for flash flooding and very rough seas.
I am monitoring this system closely and I will keep you all updated on the latest.

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM ERNESTO...LOCATED NEAR COATZACOALCOS MEXICO.
A WELL-DEFINED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED MIDWAY BETWEEN THE
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS AND THE LESSER ANTILLES. A SMALL AREA OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED AROUND THE
CENTER OF CIRCULATION...AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO FORM LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM
HAS A HIGH CHANCE...80 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH.
A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH...THE REMNANTS OF FLORENCE...IS PRODUCING AN
AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SEVERAL HUNDRED
MILES NORTH-NORTHEAST OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS. ALTHOUGH
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS MAY BECOME A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS...SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS NOT
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...10
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE AGAIN DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS.
A TROPICAL WAVE ACCOMPANIED BY AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS
APPROACHING THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA WITH MINIMAL SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.
THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
