I'm going to go out on limb here. Since everybody asks how the weather is going to be during their trip 9 months from now, lets's all look at the classic weather pattern that is setting up 13 January, 2005. It's called a "Norther "

A big Arctic Push will descend upon the upper MidWest and press as far South as Texas, bringing snow to that great state over the weekend 15 & 16 January. We should see single digits in the Northern Plains States (IL,WI,IA,MN).

A few days later, Sun-Mon, the weather in Belize (Cancun, Coz) and the Bay Islands will turn rough with winds from the North.

Here's a satellite image of the Western Caribbean: http://www.hurricaneadvisories.com/tropsat.html

That's how you predict weather in the Western Caribbean. (Other than looking outside the window) We'll see.

This is the end of the rainy season. It seems to have a very long end.
 
I really enjoy the Weekly Log. Not only can I see what the weather is doing but there's photos and a weekly report. Very cool!
