Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from long-time supporter Claire Staffa and is a beautiful shot of sunrise from Lighthouse Estates on the south shore of West Bay. Today is a day we will see a few more clouds and a scattered shower here or there before we get dry again for the weekend.
After a very cool morning yesterday, we are back to normal lows for this time of year in the mid 70s (24C). Yesterday our highs were mostly 82-84 (28-29C). We have very mild winds but what winds we’ve had are from the east and southeast and that is bringing the warmer weather back.
Most of us have been dry this morning but Utila has picked up a few showers and First Bight got a quick heavy rain around 6 a.m. that we can see on satellite.
Here is the cloud at mid-island that brought that half inch to First Bight. We will keep some of these popcorn clouds around today and with them a chance of a few downpours here and there. After today, things get quite dry again through the weekend into next week.
We start the day with seas around 2 feet from the east/northeast and winds around 5 mph. Today will be a fairly calm day on the seas, with waves 1-2 feet by afternoon. Tonight we start to get windier and tomorrow morning we will have east winds 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet and by evening winds driving from the east 20-25 mph and seas 4 feet, maybe touching 5 feet on the south side. Saturday winds calm to 10-15 mph from the east and seas 2-3 feet. Sunday winds look quite calm with seas at 2 feet before the strong east wind comes back Sunday night into Monday.
With less rain in the forecast this next week will be beautiful for a day on the catamaran, and if you are planning your trip or cruise excursion to the island you can do no better than the Jolly Roger. Don’t forget to check them out at https://jollyrogerroatan.com/
We will have a very low tide at 10:10 p.m. Have a great Thursday!
