Sept. 30, 2021: Good morning Roatan! Today we have moderate winds and surf, perhaps half a meter at the reef. That may grow to around a meter by evening, as winds get up toward 20 mph for the first time in awhile. There’s no rain in the forecast for today as we close out September on a dry note.
Tomorrow will be very similar, with the exception that tomorrow night we will have a small chance of a scattered shower.
On Sunday, winds and seas calm again and it will be smooth sailing into next week. Rain chances should increase toward the end of next week. A cold front will get as far south as northern Yucatan. While it won’t get this far, it should push more moisture into our area, giving us better rain chances toward the end of next week.
In other news, Tropical Storm Victor has emerged off the African coast and it is now forecast to stay in the Atlantic, so there are no immediate tropical threats. Some models are indicated that a disturbance near Panama could move north and begin becoming tropical the weekend of Oct. 9, but that is far from certain. We’ll keep an eye on it. Have a great Thursday!
