Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Sandra Mulinari in Palmetto Bay and shows Finn loyally waiting on deck for his master to comes back from a dive. Finn definitely hopes to get lots of likes for this photo and a chance at $50 in food from Roatan Pets as winner of the March Photo of the Month contest. If you want Finn to win, give his photo a like at Roatan Weather.
Our satellite this morning shows a few popcorn clouds here and there. The area on the mainland between Puerto Cortez and San Pedro Sula actually picked up a little rain overnight as our easterly winds hit the mountains west of SPS causing some upflow. It shows that our current atmosphere has enough moisture for some rain here or there, but it is still very unlikely, with only about a 5 percent chance of seeing a shower on any night over the next week.
Actually, around 6 a.m. it looks like Sandy Bay got a small shower. Thanks to Trish Symons for the heads up
Our winds are not quite as strong as they were a couple of days ago. We wake up to 20 mph east winds and 3 foot seas southside, 2 foot seas northside. During the day we will calm a little to 15 mph east winds and 2-3 foot seas southside. Overnight we will get back up 25 mph winds and 4-5 foot seas, but by tomorrow morning things will calm back down again. This is the cycle of trade winds in March.
If you have the Roatan Weather 2024 calendar you know the average low for March is 75 (24.1C) the average high 84 (29.1C) and average rainfall is 3.53 inches. We are selling the rest of our stock at the printing cost of $8 (200 lemps). If you want one message me.
By the way I’m hoping the forecasts for good seas by morning on the northside are correct because I will be spending the day in Santa Helena. If you would like to hail me send me a message and I will pass by.
High tides are virtually nonexistent. Have a great Friday!
