Good morning Bay Islands. We had a quiet night after midday rain yesterday brought three quarters of an inch to West Bay as well as Oakridge and half an inch to Punta Blanca. Most other locations got much less, around a tenth of an inch.

We have good news about the potential tropical storm centered off the coast of Bluefields, Nicaragua.

It is forecast to move across Nicaragua, well to our south, so we won’t get the worst of the rain. It will pull in showers over us, probably starting tonight and increased rain chances last through much of this week.

Satellite at 6:30 a.m.

On our satellite this morning we can see cloud bands in advance of the storm in our area. Today may be the nicest day of the week. We’ll still have a 40 percent chance of showers, but winds and seas will be calm. Rain chances go up tonight and through the day tomorrow to 50 percent. Rain should be heaviest Wednesday evening into Thursday morning as the storm exits near El Salvador and strengthens again. Rain chances those days are 70 percent.
Winds and seas stay calm through tomorrow morning. Tomorrow evening through Saturday, east winds will be 15-20 mph and seas at 3 feet. Have a great week!
