Good morning Bay Islands! Our photo of the day comes from Bill Zangle in Sandy Bay. If you like his photo, he may have a chance at a $50 gift certificate at Blue Bahia Beach Grill. I had someone yesterday tell me she doesn’t have an email and can’t send the photo to bookmybio@gmail.com. In that case you can WhatsApp it to 9475-4406. We actually had a few locations record rain.
This morning we see quite a few clouds around. The clouds yesterday kept our temperature down with a high at the airport of 86 (30C), a drop of 7 degrees from the previous day. We can see a good storm over on the coast near the Colon-Gracias a Dios border. Parts of Guanaja are still dealing with rain at 7 a.m. There will continue to be a chance of a shower until mid-morning, but again most of us will stay dry. We should have fewer clouds and more sun today, but with a light north breeze, our temperature will still be around 86. Winds will be out of the north 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet.
Saturday winds turn to the east at 10-15 mph, and 15-20 mph. There will be a 10 percent chance of a morning shower each day.
So far it looks like only Utila and Guanaja recorded rain with Guanaja getting almost an inch. I got a few sprinkles again this morning on Jonesville Point, but nothing measurable.
Monday we will be dealing with some morning clouds, but I’m hopeful that they will clear up by noon for our 40 percent eclipse. Hopefully you have safety glasses left over from our October eclipse. If not, just look at the image cast under the trees to see the moon partially cover the sun. We have a couple of islanders heading to see the full eclipse in person, so we will share their experiences here.
Next week will be quite windy with easterly trade winds and dry. Another cold front will come near Friday and Saturday (this is a forecast map for Friday), at the very least calming our winds and teasing us with small chances of rain like we have had the last couple of days.
