This week’s weather forecast, includes the formation of a tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean near Costa Rica

A large but disorganized low pressure system in the Pacific Ocean near the country has been generating a lot of instability, bringing heavy afternoon and evening rains to much of the country.

This weather system will likely become organized in the coming days, predict Costa Rican meteorologists, becoming a tropical depression on Tuesday night or Wednesday while remaining its current position near the country’s Pacific coast.

Predictions are that the storm will form into a cyclone and then take a. somewhat strange trajectory, tending to drift a little to the west, away from Costa Rica, but then between Thursday and Friday starting to head north-northeast or northeast, and becoming tropical storm Adrian, and possibly a hurricane by this weekend, directly impacting El Salvador or Guatemala.

Due to this storm system, cloudy and rainy weather conditions are anticipated over much of the country from morning in the afternoon and night, intensifying over the course of the week depending on the strength and trajectory of the cyclone. Towards the end of the week there could be severe rainfall, especially in the Pacific. In addition, there will be weak to moderate winds throughout much of the country, and moderate with possible strong wind gusts throughout the week mostly in the North Pacific and Central Valley areas.

After landfall in El Salvador or Guatemala, Adrian could be able to cross over the isthmus and head into the Caribbean Sea at the Gulf of Honduras early in the next week, still retaining its influence over Costa Rica, said meteorologists.

In addition, a possible cold front in the Caribbean would keep such a storm stationary and even possible cause it to return towards Costa Rica’s coasts, but this time on the Atlantic.

There is still some uncertainty in the computer generated models regarding the trajectory of this possible tropical cyclone, so the forecast is subject to change. Meteorologists said that in coming days they would be issuing follow-up reports on the development of this phenomenon.
