Thanks so much to Annette Huskin for this great shot from Brick Point Guanaja. I wanted to highlight Guanaja because I’ve known for awhile that we would be getting our first weather station on that island in 2024. But Paiz Sloane in Mangrove Bight wasn’t quite ready to go online. So imagine my surprise when I saw a completely different weather station show up on Wunderground. We are thrilled to welcome not one but TWO weather stations to Guanaja. I’ve been waiting for this five years and it happens in the SAME WEEK. Thanks so much Oscar and Lisa Garcia!
This map shows the scattered showers we had yesterday. We will be mostly clear, with very little chance of any rain today through Tuesday. Wednesday a weak norther will bring us a small chance of rain.
The bigger story is the return of east winds. Today we have east winds 15 mph bringing 2 foot seas, mostly on the south side. Those winds will increase this afternoon to 20 mph and 3 feet and 25 mph and 4-5 feet overnight. Tomorrow morning we will start the day windy and wavy from the east, but those winds and waves will get calmer as the day goes along, down to 10 mph and 2 feet by afternoon. Sunday looks fairly calm at 5-10 mph and 2 feet. Utila will be quite calm this weekend at 1 foot and light and variable winds. Things get windy from the east Sunday night into Monday.
On a personal note I’d like to give a shoutout to the staff at Centro Medico Ramos in Las Fuertes and Dr. Noe Ramos in particular. My family has used him as our personal doctor and this past weekend I saw him and his staff go above and beyond the call of duty for a friend. They are not a sponsor, but I just had to mention them. Dr. Ramos speaks perfect English and is a great doc for any of our island visitors who have a medical need during their stay!
Lowest tide is 11 p.m. Have a great Friday!
