Weather Summary

Kari Kiefer

Weather Underground Forecast for Wednesday, May 16, 2012. No tropical development is expected for the tropical Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday as the beginning of the tropical season is still two weeks away. Instead, expect areas of strong thunderstorms to develop, with the strongest of these thunderstorms popping up in the western Caribbean Sea along the coast of Central America from Costa Rica through Belize and Guatemala. These thunderstorms will be strong enough to generate heavy rain that could trigger mudslides,e specially from Guatemala through Honduras.

Additional scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop in the normal areas of the Caribbean Sea south of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.

In the Gulf of Mexico, a few thunderstorms will develop in the eastern gulf close to Florida. The rest of the gulf will remain mostly dry.

Moderate to strong tradewinds are expected through the Caribbean Sea, while weak to moderate wind are anticipated in the Gulf of Mexico.
