391 FXCA20 KWBC 101819 PMDCA Tropical Discussion - International Desks NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 119 PM EST Mon Nov 10 2025 Forecast Bulletin 10 November 2025 at 1830 UTC: The Bahamas and Caribbean, Mexico and Central America: From today through Tuesday conditions are expected to stay relatively calm for the eastern Caribbean, as dry air is advected into the region. Some precipitation can be expected today over Jamaica, with a low-level trough advecting deep moisture and bringing some instability. A cold front currently over the eastern coast of the US extending from Florida and entering Veracruz, and a shear line associated with the frontal system will cause most of the precipitation over Mexico and Central America, and The Bahamas and Cuba throughout the forecast period. From today through Tuesday the cold front will move southward extending over the Bahamas and Cuba into the Yucatan Peninsula, and Belize. From Tuesday through Wednesday the front is expected to continue moving south reaching the eastern Bahamas extending through eastern Cuba and entering Honduras. The front is then forecast to become stationary early on Wednesday and remain in the region on Thursday. The presence of this cold front , later becoming a stationary front, should bring some precipitation over Cuba and The Bahamas each day of the forecast period, with conditions more favorable for higher totals from Tuesday through Wednesday over eastern Cuba. The shear line, currently located near Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula, will move south towards Central America causing heavy rainfall along Belize, Guatemala and Honduras from today through Tuesday, and is expected to reach Nicaragua from Tuesday through Wednesday. After that, it is expected to start dissipating. As a result of the cold front moving into the region, and the presence of the shear line, expect strong northeasterly flow and enhanced low-level moisture convergence. Additionally, a plume of moisture is being advected from the Caribbean into Central America as a low-level trough propagates to the west, which will enhance precipitation across the region, particularly as it interacts with the shear line. Upper divergence along the periphery of a high is expected to give additional support for strong convection. The heaviest rainfall is expected for Guatemala and Belize from today through Wednesday morning, for Honduras from Tuesday through Wednesday evening, and for Costa Rica and Nicaragua from Wednesday through Thursday. Precipitation is also expected over Panama, with the presence of the monsoon trough bringing onshore moisture from the Caribbean, and with the possibility of the Panamanian Low developing, further increasing low-level moisture convergence throughout the forecast period. Tropical South America: Expect seasonable precipitation over the tropical South America, with rainfall mostly due to convection-induced troughs, diurnal heating, orographic lifting, low-level moisture convergence and local effects. Some precipitation is expected from today through Thursday in the Amazon region of Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil due to the presence of a low-level trough and enhanced low-level moisture convergence. Westerly flow over the Pacific may also bring some precipitation to the western coast of Colombia today throughout the forecast period, with totals increasing towards the end of the forecast period, as moisture increases and the flow becomes more perpendicular to the coast. Another area that is likely to see an increase in precipitation today through Wednesday is the western coast of Venezuela and Guyana, as some moisture is being advected in the region, and upper divergence enhancement is possible on Tuesday with the presence of a trough in the Atlantic with the base on the coast. However, precipitation should decrease after Wednesday afternoon as dry air enters the region. Additionally, with the presence of the monsoon and the development of the Panamanian low, some precipitation is also possible over the Caribbean region of Colombia.
