By Belize Live News Staff: The National Hurricane Center has issued a new Tropical Weather Outlook that highlights the potential development of a low-pressure system in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, which could affect Belize in the coming days.
This broad low-pressure area, currently located over the western Caribbean Sea and parts of Central America, is gradually organizing. Environmental conditions in the region are expected to improve, potentially leading to the formation of a tropical depression as the system moves slowly northward. Even if a tropical depression does not form, heavy rains are likely in Belize, which could cause localized flooding, especially in low-lying regions. Residents are urged to stay vigilant, as the system has a 70% chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next seven days.
Meanwhile, a second low-pressure system in the central subtropical Atlantic poses no immediate threat to Belize, and a tropical wave moving westward from Africa is also unlikely to have any short-term impacts on the region.
The forecast for Belize remains focused on heavy rains and potential flooding as this Caribbean system develops. Stay informed and take necessary precautions as the situation evolves. Belize Live News will provide timely updates as the storm conditions change.
