There was a report on the la bird server via florida etc that there had
been major thunderstorm activity over most of the Yucatan which could have
limited takeoffs.
The lack of migrants was general all the way over to Florida.
My website for merida/cancun radar is down and perhaps gone but one can get
satellite from Accuweather etc and the time laps shows a major system
moving from west to east that covered the peninsula and still is affecting
the eastern third.
