Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Helen Murphy who has lived on the island since 1986! This was taken from the First Bight area, which is where the municipalities of Roatan and Santos Guardiola meet, the dividing line of east and west Roatan.

We’ve had some good morning showers across the islands with over an inch and a half near Pristine Bay.

The satellite looks better today than it has previous days, with only scattered showers, mostly of the “popcorn” variety. We should see plenty of sun, but there will continue to be chances of showers, but rain totals shouldn’t be high today. Tomorrow should be very similar to today as well. Winds will be light and variable but we will continue to have seas around 3 feet. Rain chances go up Saturday as our next norther approaches.
The main effect of our norther will be the winds. Winds will be from the northwest at 15-20 mph on Saturday and seas at 4 feet. Sunday morning winds will be from the northwest at 22-30 mph and seas 5-7 feet especially on the north side. Winds and seas should calm slightly Sunday afternoon. Rain Sunday into the first part of next week will be light as the cooler air pushes moisture out of the clouds, but rain totals should not be very high. Into the first and middle part of next week we will feel very pleasant conditions and a lot of islanders and those of us who have lived here long enough will want to wear their jackets.

Low tide is 4:08 p.m. Lowest tide is tomorrow at 4 a.m. Have a great Thursday.
