Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, July 11, 2009.
Tropical storm development is not anticipated over the East Pacific or North Atlantic on Saturday. However, active weather is anticipated over the region as lower pressure hovers over Mexico, pulling warm and moist conditions onshore. This will trigger widespread scattered showers over south-central Mexico and up the Yucatan Peninsula.
To the south, onshore flow from the Caribbean Sea over Central America will allow for wet weather to persist over Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop along the east coast of Nicaragua on Saturday. Meanwhile, a tropical wave will move through the Lesser Antilles, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms with it. Cuba will remain mostly dry until the afternoon and evening hours when the tropical wave reaches the region. In the north, a front lingering over the Southeastern US will allow for scattered showers and thunderstorms to continue over the Bahamas and Gulf states.
