PENINSULA ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL FAVOR MAXIMA OF 75-150MM  
IN NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE PENINSULA...ALTHOUGH TRAILING  
MOISTURE WILL LIKELY FAVOR MAXIMA OF 40-80MM IN NORTHEAST PORTIONS  
OF THE PENINSULA. THE NEXT IMPACTS OF BERYL IN TERMS OF  
PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED LATE ON SUNDAY...WHEN IT WILL FAVOR  
MAXIMA OF 75-150MM IN FAR NORTHEAST TAMAULIPAS.  
 
ALSO IN MEXICO...DIURNAL CONVECTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE  
NORTHAMERICAN MONSOON CONTINUES ACTIVATING. THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY

OCCIDENTAL. THIS INCREASES TO MAXIMA OF 30-60MM ON

IN NORTHERN CENTRAL AMERICA...BROAD LOWS IN THE PACIFIC BASIN ARE  
BEING ENHANCED BY THE TROUGH SOUTH OF TROPICAL STORM BERYL.  
ALTHOUGH BERYL IS FORECAST TO MOVE RAPIDLY AWAY FROM THE  
REGION...ENHANCED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND ONSHORE FLOW WILL  
SUSTAIN A WET PATTERN IN THE PACIFIC BASINS OF  
GUATEMALA...HONDURAS AND IN EL SALVADOR. ON FRIDAY EXPECT MAXIMA  
OF 25-50MM. ON SATURDAY...THIS INCREASES IN EL SALVADOR/GULF OF  
FONSECA REGION TO MAXIMA OF 40-80MM AND A RISK FOR MCS FORMATION.  
HIGH AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY AS WELL (SEE BELOW).  
 
A LARGE TROPICAL WAVE IS PROPAGATING ACROSS THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN.  
ALTHOUGH CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY IS ENHANCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH  
THE CENTER OF THIS WAVE...VERTICAL SHEAR AND SAHARAN DUST IN ITS  
PERIPHERY ARE LIMITING POTENTIAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS.  
STILL...EXPECT ENHANCEMENT IN THE WESTERN HAITIAN PENINSULA ON  
FRIDAY WHERE AMOUNTS ARE FORECAST TO REACH MAXIMA OF 20-35MM. IN  
JAMAICA...ENHANCED VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL LIMIT MAXIMA OF  
15-25MM. ON SATURDAY...A DEVELOPING TRADE WIND SURGE ALONG 73W  
WILL ENHANCE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IN THE AIR MASS TRAILING THE  
TROPICAL WAVE. THIS WILL FAVOR AN INCREASE IN ACCUMULATION TO  
10-15MM/DAY AND MAXIMA OF 20-40MM IN JAMAICA...SOUTHEAST CUBA AND  
POTENTIALLY IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS. ON SUNDAY...THE TROPICAL WAVE  
IS FORECAST TO PROPAGATE ACROSS HONDURAS...NICARAGUA AND EL  
SALVADOR. IN THE MEAN TIME...THE TRADE WIND SURGE IS EXPECTED TO  
PROPAGATE ACROSS JAMAICA AND THE CAYMAN ISLANDS/CENTRAL  
CUBA...LEADING TO A NOTICEABLY DRYING BEHIND IT. NEVERTHELESS...AN  
INCREASE IN MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AS THE TRADE WIND SURGE  
APPROACHES THE WAVE...WILL FAVOR MAXIMA OF 25-50MM IN EAST  
NICARAGUA/EAST HONDURAS. IN THE REST OF HONDURAS AND EL SALVADOR  
HOWEVER...ENHANCED ONSHORE FLOW FROM THE PACIFIC AND FORCING BY  
THE TROPICAL WAVE WILL FAVOR 15-30MM/DAY ND MAXIMA OF 40-80MM.  
 
ANOTHER TROPICAL WAVE IS FORECAST TO RAPIDLY PROPAGATE FROM THE  
TROPICAL ATLANTIC INTO THE REGION. THE WAVE IS FORECAST TO CROSS  
THE LESSER ANTILLES ON SUNDAY. NEVERTHELESS...LIMITED AVAILABLE  
MOISTURE AND RAPID PROPAGATION ARE LIKELY TO LIMIT THE COVERAGE  
AND INTENSITY OF CONVECTION...LIMITING MAXIMA TO BELOW 15MM/DAY.
