Good morning Bay Islands. Last night between 10 and 11 p.m. we had some thunderstorms pass over the islands that gave most of us about a tenth of an inch of rain, but West Bay got about a third of an inch. We recorded winds gusting to 40 mph during the squall on Jonesville Point. After the storm ended our winds calmed back to around 5-10 mph where we are this morning, with seas 1-2 feet. Winds and seas will continue fairly calm this week, except in storm squalls.

Satellite at 7:45 a.m.

Our area of the Caribbean is fairly clear this morning, so we should have dry conditions this morning. But we will continue have very good chances of showers and thundershowers, especially late in the evening, overnight and early mornings through the week.

There are three tropical storms out there, the closest being Tropical Storm Franklin,

but it will take a sharp turn to the north tomorrow and away from us. We are not in danger of any tropical storms currently. Have a great week!

I'm a native of Columbus, Ga., but lived from 2003-2019 in Lawton, Oklahoma. I've always been a weather geek and now I get to live the dream on an island that doesn't have a good weather forecast system.
