By Aaron Humes: The National Meteorological Service says today will be a bright and sunshiny day, as fair and dry conditions continue.

Skies will be mostly sunny today and clear to partly cloudy tonight, with little or no rainfall expected.

Winds are from the west at 5 to 15 knots and sea state is moderate to rough. A small craft caution is in effect for locally rough seas in large northerly swells.

A flood watch remains in effect for communities along major river countrywide especially in the Belize District. It is important to note that, while weather conditions have improved over Belize, flooding will continue in communities near the major rivers due to the rising river levels.

High temperatures will hit 87 degrees Fahrenheit in coastal communities, 90 over most inland areas and 73 in the hills. Tonight, it will be 73 along the coast, 67 inland and 63 in the hills.

Tides will be low at 12:15 p.m. this afternoon then high at 6:30 p.m. this evening. The Sun sets at 5:17 p.m. this evening and rises at 5:56 p.m. Wednesday morning.

The fair and dry weather continues into Election Day Wednesday.

Tropical Weather Outlook: A tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This wave is expected to move westward into more favourable environmental conditions, and there is a high chance that a tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend when the wave reaches the central or western Caribbean Sea.
