Yoro, Honduras

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Areas of active weather will develop across the Caribbean Sea and Latin America on Saturday. A strong low pressure system that moves off the East Coast of the US will create a cold front that sweeps through the Gulf of Mexico and into the northern Caribbean Sea. This system will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Bahamas, southern Florida, Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure builds over the Gulf of Mexico and creates clockwise flow that pushes abundant moisture into eastern Mexico and Texas. This will produce scattered scattered showers throughout most of eastern and central Mexico. Mexico City will be overcast with a chance of showers and highs in the mid-50s(F)/ lower teens(C).

To the south, a monsoon trough of low pressure extends over Central America and pulls moisture in from the western Caribbean Sea. This will support scattered thunderstorm activity from Nicaragua through Panama throughout the day.
