Monday July 30, 2012

Skies will be partly sunny, as a monsoon trough of low pressure remains over Central America, pulling moisture in from the southwestern Caribbean Sea. This will support additional showers and thunderstorms across Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Seas will be calm at 1 to 3 feet. Winds will range in strength from light during the day to moderate this evening. They will be from the ESE to ENE at 5 to 20 mph.

Ocean water temperatures are 82 to 83ºF or 26 to 27ºC. Visibility is generally 20 to 80 feet.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

A tropical wave accompanied by a weak area of low pressure located about 800 miles SW of the Cape Verde Islands has a low chance,20 percent,of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves W at 10 to 15 mph.

A tropical wave along 79W will move through Western Caribbean later today and Tuesday. Another tropical wave will reach the Western Caribbean on Thursday and Friday.

Saharan desert dust, in the atmosphere, continues to diminish, increasing the chances of tropical storm formation.
