Good morning Bay Islands. Overnight Punta Blanca and Politilly got a little rain around 2:30 a.m., enough to get the ground wet. Midmorning yesterday much of the west side of the island got about a tenth of an inch.

This morning on radar we have a few showers west of Utila, but those are moving south and away from the islands. We are experiencing very calm winds and seas and those will continue today under mostly sunny skies. The rain chance is very low today and tonight. The chance of scattered showers is a little better Monday evening into Tuesday morning and even better Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.
Today and much of this week, winds and seas will be quite calm, mostly around 1 foot (.3 meters). It will be a great week to be on the sea, aside from an occasional shower that should come and go quickly.

As you can see on the National Hurricane Center forecast map, there’s quite a bit of activity in the Atlantic and one storm, called 90L, that has entered the eastern Caribbean. This is the time when some people get scary messages saying a hurricane is coming. Don’t believe it.

As you can see in this map, almost all of the models have this storm turning north over Haiti and Dominican Republic and heading out to sea. None of them have the storm hitting us. Right now none of these storms are any threat to the islands. Have a great Sunday and enjoy the calm conditions.
