Weather Info

DATE: May 13, 2006

As we continue onward to arrival in Balboa, Panama, we can expect to encounter overcast conditions much like those we encountered today, with expected isolated moderate to strong thundershowers tonight and tomorrow morning. All celestial observers and barbeque cowboys can thank the inter-tropic convergence zone for tomorrow’s less than ideal atmospheric conditions. Temperatures will continue to hover in the mid to upper eighties for the next few days and sea swell is expected to remain unchanged, around 1 m in height out of the south. Winds will be variable in direction 20 kts. or less. Meteorologist: Backes and Davison


Fair weather cumulus and stratocumulus clouds, coded CL 8 when we transmit weather reports, make for another tropical sunset.
