Atlantic Tropical Weather Overview
Heavy rain is occurring in parts of Central America, including extreme southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, western Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Costa Rica, and Panama. Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, eastern Cuba, and the Bahamas are also experiencing heavy showers and thunderstorms, which could lead to flash flooding and landslides, so locals and travelers should stay alert. Across the Gulf of Mexico, weather is mostly calm with light winds and small waves, but scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected over the southeastern Gulf and Florida Straits through the next few days. Meanwhile, the Caribbean Sea is mostly quiet except in the northwestern part near the islands, where occasional showers and thunderstorms may occur, and moderate to fresh winds are present, causing some rough seas near Venezuela and Colombia's coasts.
