Weather Discussion:

Today we are again off to a beautiful day here in the Riviera Maya with Sunny skies and warm temperatures in the morning, last night we had beautiful clear skies, you could see all the stars from the beach and the lights on Cozumel, the day is looking to be quite nice again.  We did have some local shower activity around Cancun and The Riviera Maya but nothing that dampened the day thats for sure.  In the evening as well we had a bit of a shower that delayed 15 minutes the opening of a benefit fashion show but the show did go on and we will have coverage in our next edition.

The remnants of Tropical Storm or Depression Gaston got a little better organized last night but still just something to be observed.  Conditions in the Tropical Atlantic continue to be excellent for Tropical Storm development.  Two very active low pressure systems that moved off the West Africa coast are also to be taken seriously as them move slowly westward.

Here in Cancun and The Riviera Maya we have mostly sunny skies giving way to Partly Cloudy. We have a chance of scattered late evening showers. Most of the day there will be a nice breeze blowing 6 to 8 mph. The conditions in the Caribbean are NOT FAVORABLE for development of Tropical Systems.

The conditions in the Gulf of Mexico are NOT FAVORABLE for development.

Conditions in the Tropical Atlantic are VERY FAVORABLE for Development but 4 tropical storms in 11 days I didn’t have to tell you that, did I.  For now 2 more Tropical Waves are moving off the west coast of Africa which without doubt will become named storms in the course of the next couple of days.

Current Condtions in Playa Del Carmen:

Skies: Mostly Sunny Skies

Temperatures: Current 88º F / 31° C Highs 91° F / 33° C Overnight Lows 75° F / 24° C

Weather Outlook for Cancun, Playa Del Carmen and The Riviera Maya.

For Cancun and The Riviera Maya for  today and Sunday we will have more of what we had yesterday, mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions, hot and  not as humid today as past weeks. Partly to Mostly Cloudy  skies could prevail most of the time, temperatures will reach the low 90′s F / low 30′s C, we have a chance of an evening or overnight shower or thundershower. Overnight lows will be around 77º F / 25º C a little warmer than previous nights.

Conditions in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico are NOT FAVORABLE for development.

If you take a look at the our Local Radar Here you can see that there is no  shower activity on the Radar within range (radar range is 299 kilometers).  Our Radar is updated every 15 minutes 24 hours per day.

Meanwhile if you are in Cancun, The Riviera Maya or the Islands here be sure you get the sunblock on whether you are laying on the Beach, doing a tour or just walking around getting oriented, the sun will be behind clouds from time to time today making you think you don’t need sunblock but you DO. Make sure you hydrate, drink lots of water, and if you are at the pool or on the beach stagger between those beers and cocktails a nice bottle of water. Don’t take the sun for granted, enjoy your vacations.

Today we got off to a beautiful day here in the Riviera Maya with Sunny skies and warm temperatures in the morning, last night we had beautiful clear skies, you could see all the stars from the beach and the lights on Cozumel, the day is looking to be quite nice again.

Tropical Storm Gaston that formed 2 days ago in the Tropical deemed to be Gaston the Terrible fizzled out thats to lots of Backwash conditions from his 3 amigos Danielle, Earl and Fiona.  But lets not give up on Gaston just yet, he may have fizzled out to nothing but some disorganized clouds and showers But, those clouds and showers DID increase overnight.  Conditions in the Tropical Atlantic are VERY FAVORABLE for re-development of this now low pressure area as it crawls west at 5 mph / 7kph for the next couple of days.

Another Tropical Wave located between the Coast of West Africa and the Cape Verde Islands is producing alot of showers and thunderstorms and conditions are somewhat favorable for this system to become a tropical event in the next couple of days and later be the next named storm of the season.

Tropical Satellite Image for the Caribbean, gulf of Mexico and Mexico in General

In the Central, South and Southeast of Mexico we continue to have unstable conditions  as well as a low pressure area the result of that yellow line you see there that are Low Pressure Troughs through the central and western part of Mexico Bringing Unstable Conditions to the areas of Central Mexico, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Northern Chiapas.  There is an intense storm  area in the Pacific just off the Coast of Chiapas which is causing Showers and Thundershowers in that area and could bring more rain to an already soaked region.  We have a Tropical Depression off the coast of Baja California Sur which is the remnants of Hurricane Frank moving to the northwest.

Here in Cancun and The Riviera Maya we have mostly sunny skies giving way to Partly Cloudy. We have a chance of scattered late evening showers. Most of the day there will be a nice breeze blowing 6 to 8 mph. The conditions in the Caribbean are NOT FAVORABLE for development of Tropical Systems.

Obviously we will continue to watch the remnants of the low pressure area that is left from Gaston which is just basically a bunch of disorganized clouds and showers moving west for the time but we need to see what happens as that area enters warmer waters closer to the Lesser Antilles.

Weather Discussion:

Another rainy beginning to the day today here in Playa Del Carmen but those clouds are giving way to partly sunny skies and temperatures are finally on the rise.

Hurricane Earl a Large Dangerous Category 4 hurricane bringing 30 foot seas continues moving towards the Atlantic Coast of the US, Warnings and Watches are up for the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina to New England.  Hurricane Earl is of no threat to Mexico so we will discontinue bringing updates and information.

Tropical Storm Fiona still a disorganized tropical storm moving out into the open ocean only Bermuda has a tropical storm WATCH in effect.  Tropical Storm Fiona also NO THREAT to Cancun or The Riviera Maya but we will continue until tomorrow to bring updates.

Tropical Storm Gaston has formed yesterday out there in the Tropical Atlantic.  A few minutes ago Gaston was downgraded to a Tropical Depression once again.  Current Models have mixed opinions on track so we will watch Gaston to see what he is going to do.  Some models do have Gaston entering the Caribbean sometime around Tuesday or Wednesday next week but this early margin of error can be 50% or more.

The National Meteorological Office in Mexico has issued an INTENSE STORM WARNING until 15:00 hours Thursday September 2, 2010 for Chiapas and Oaxaca which will most likely be extended until 3 PM Friday as conditions in the area have not gotten any better.

The intensity of the storm can be accompanied by intervals of heavy downpours, cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning, hail and strong damaging winds.  Depending on the local area also flash flooding, mud slides and landslides are possible.

If you take a look at the our Local Radar Here you can see that there is no shower activity on the Radar but here locally we had a brief shower passing over that was not on the radar, (radar range is 299 kilometers).  Our Radar is updated every 15 minutes 24 hours per day.

Meanwhile if you are in Cancun, The Riviera Maya or the Islands here be sure you get the sunblock on whether you are laying on the Beach, doing a tour or just walking around getting oriented, the sun will be behind clouds from time to time today making you think you don’t need sunblock but you DO. Make sure you hydrate, drink lots of water, and if you are at the pool or on the beach stagger between those beers and cocktails a nice bottle of water.

Although there are no watches or warnings in effect since Gaston is still quite east of the Northern Leeward Islands or Lesser Antilles but there is no doubt that somewhere from the Lesser Antilles to Puerto Rico a Watch or Warning will pop up based on the Spaghetti on the map below.

Tropical Storm Fiona Computer Models.

You can see from the Model Cancun way off in the left top corner and models still not quite in agreement for a track yet, this early error margin is great so we will watch this carefully for the next few days.  If the models suggesting that Tropical Storm Gaston passes into the Caribbean are correct the area from Anguilla to Dominica should get the first hit around Wednesday next week thus we would start to see watches popping up over the weekend once the system becomes more stable and the computer data more reliable.

For the time I will say that Tropical Storm Gaston will NOT AFFECT MEXICO but I might have to update that over the weekend.

Kevin

Tropical Storm Fiona is probably the most disorganized Tropical Storm we have seen this year, disorganized and scattered showers and clouds but still a Tropical Storm in theory.  All of the computer models except BAMD have Tropical Storm Fiona moving basically the same track as Earl but farther to the east than Earl tracked.  The BAMD has Fiona turning south southwest tomorrow and crossing the Turks and Caicos, Cuba and coming right at Playa Del Carmen or Tulum.  Someone really needs to take a look at the BAMD because looking at Tropical Storm Gaston as well BAMD has Gaston tracking nearly the same which conditions do NOT support.

Fiona is packing winds of 50 mph / 95 kph and is moving Northwest 320º at 17 mph / 24 kph.

All watches and warnings were discontinued yesterday while today Bermuda has a Tropical Storm Watch in effect.

Normally I would discontinue special updates on a system so far away and moving away but we will continue to add information as long as the BAMD model is showing a possible track towards us.  Once that is re-calibrated or changes we will discontinue monitoring Fiona as it will have NO EFFECT ON MEXICO, Cancun or The Riviera Maya.
