Good example of what a wind shift line looks like. Line lies across the Yucatan Channel. The south east wind flow across Belize is keeping the weather here hot and dry. The front in the channel is forecast to weaken and dissipate overnight.

Rain yesterday and last night measured 22.5 mm but now dry weather has returned again. The wind shear image is showing that a dry season upper air flow is beginning to establish. This is known as a zonal pattern which means that the wind flow is more or less straight from west to east. This pattern remains pretty much the same during the whole dry season.

This morning the cold front has pushed further south and is not as clearly defined. The north wind can be seen behind the front. The tail end of the front can be seen in the water vapour image. The front is expected to cross into the Yucatan tonight. Will have a better idea how Belize will be affected after sunset today.

The image on the right shows an interesting representation of the position of the cold front that is currently crossing the Gulf of Mexico. The cold front itself is the dark line that curves down, crosses into the coast of Mexico then up again towards western Texas. The north wind can be see above the front. This cold front is expected to affect Belize by Friday before sunrise.

The jet stream has dived even further south. Belize will be pretty cool tonight. Hope this jet pulls away soon.

The jet stream has invaded the deep south of the United States bringing unseasonable cold to the area. The cold front is suppose to stall just to the north of Belize so we will probably miss the frigid temperatures. Right now a slow moving trough of lower pressure is moving across Belize causing an outbreak of rain.

 A series of cold fronts have been travelling across the Gulf of Mexico keeping the weather in Belize relatively cool. However the wind has been light making the cool temperature very comfortable. A new cold front is now entering the North West corner of the Gulf of Mexico. There is a High Pressure over southern Mexico which is tilting the jet stream off to the north east. But extremely cold air continues to flood down over eastern Canada and this should provide the conditions for a continuation of more cold fronts into next week

The Arctic polar jet stream is plunging far to the south so it looks like Belize is going to experience some very cool weather for the next 3 or 4 days. Strong 1021 High Pressure is likely to build over the Yucatan which will result in some cold nights.

Unhappy news about what has happened to the weather. The dry air that was advancing towards Belize, almost reached Belize a few days ago, but has retreated and now being replaced with some significant moisture, which we do not need. There has been around 12 mm of rain each  night for the past 3 nights, and now at 5 PM we are having some heavy rain. Not Good.

Latest region of dry air, the darkest is the driest (warmest temperature). Looks like some sort of sea creature. Belize had a few more showers last night, measured 9 mm. Total of past two nights is now about 26 mm. Today and tonight should be dry.
