Sargassum Forecast from February 7 to February 15:
Satellite imagery show that Sargassum amounts continue to increase over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Honduras. As a result, there is now a high chance that more Sargassum mats could drift onto local beaches during the next few days. San Pedro has a high probability and a moderate expected impact.

The Caribbean Sea
A Gale Warning is in effect near the coast of
Colombia.
Strong NE to E trades encompass the NE, central, and SW basin,
with mainly fresh trades elsewhere. Seas are 8 to 12 ft, except 4
to 7 ft in the NW basin. No convection is noted.
For the forecast, strong trade winds will continue over the
central and NE Caribbean Sea, with fresh winds elsewhere over the
eastern Caribbean through Sat night. Fresh to strong winds will
continue in the Windward Passage and Gulf of Honduras through
tonight. Looking ahead, a cold front will reach the Yucatan
Channel late Sat and reach from central Cuba to offshore Honduras
late Sun. Fresh to locally strong N winds and moderate to rough
seas are expected in the wake of the front.
Cold front 31 "Pixán", moves over the center of the Gulf of Mexico, its proximity to the Yucatán Peninsula, will induce a trough, which will give rise to light to moderate rains.
Caribbean Chill on the Way A Caribbean chill is on the way, for some of us. We'll feel cooler weather in parts of Mexico, Belize, Cuba, and The Cayman Islands.
The cool air bubble has missed us. We are in strong easterly Caribbean winds, but with significant clouds around, so can be some rain showers. There are traces of high level winds, contributing to the clouds.
Looks as if today will be sunny, but with some very significant clouds and a chance of the odd rain shower.
