August 11, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. While the Atlantic and Caribbean have been quiet this year, the eastern Pacific has been quite busy. There is a storm on the Pacific coast of Panama that is expected to form into a tropical storm, perhaps as early as Sunday or Monday.

That won’t affect us directly, but it could be part of the reason we should have gusty winds on Monday, as easterly winds feed into the storm on the north side.
Today through Saturday looks mostly dry and sunny, with east winds about where they are now, 12-17 mph from the east and 2-3 foot seas. Saturday night into Sunday morning we have a decent chance of a shower, I’d say around 40 percent. Monday east winds will be 20-25 mph and seas 4 feet during the day and up to 30 or 35 mph and seas 5-6 feet Monday night. Starting Tuesday winds will be around 20 mph and seas around 4 feet. Next week will have higher rain chances, 30 to 40 percent each day throughout the week. Have a great Friday.
