Central America

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, July 04, 2009.

Mexico will continue to see wet weather on Saturday as lower pressure hovers over the country. This will pull moisture onshore from the Pacific Ocean, allowing for moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms to develop along the west coast, with scattered showers extending into central and eastern Mexico. To the south, a tropical wave will move westward over Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras, kicking up moderate to heavy storms throughout the day. Onshore flow from the Caribbean over Central America will allow for wet weather to persist from the Yucatan Peninsula into Panama. To the east, a stationary front will extend from a low pressure system off the East Coast of the US and hover over the Gulf on Saturday. This front will trigger scattered showers over the Bahamas and Florida. Expect usual afternoon showers and thunderstorms across the Greater and Lesser Antilles on Saturday.
