5 May 2017 Weather in Cayman

May 5 Friday 2017

Synopsis

A slack pressure gradient across the Caribbean will continue to support light winds along with slight seas across the Cayman area for the next 24 hours. Further to the northwest a cold front extends over the Gulf of Mexico with a pre-frontal trough ahead of it, extending over the extreme northwest Caribbean. While the cold front is expected to enter the Caribbean, the pre-frontal trough is expected to support a few showers and possible thunder across the Cayman area over the next 24 hours. Radar images show scattered showers south and west of Grand Cayman which are moving northward.

Sunshine just makes the day a little better, but it can also cause sunburns. Check the UV Report below to be prepared
