Good morning Bay Islands! Today’s photo of the day comes from Joyann Villalta in Calabash Bight. It shows clear circle of the sun that will be partially covered by the moon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. Peak for us will be at 12:32 p.m. Peak for Mitch Cummins, who is taking a short break from making Roatan Pets food to view the eclipse, will be 11:09 a.m. local time in Mazatlan, Mexico. Hopefully clouds will be will be parted enough for all of us to see the event (indirectly of course).
We have a few popcorn clouds around the island and a few of these will have a short shower in them. Miss Liz over in Politilly recorded .03 of an inch this morning and Pristine Bay recorded .02 around 2 a.m. Any rain will be short-lived. After this morning there really isn’t any rain chances early to midweek this week.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Today we start out with 15 mph east winds and 3 foot seas on the south side and we will be getting back to easterly trade winds through Wednesday, with 17-22 mph east winds and 3-4 foot waves southside in the daytime, and 25-30 mph east winds and 4-5 foot southside waves nighttime. Thursday we may have a brief period in the morning with westerly winds as the front approaches, followed by calmer conditions for a couple of days and a small chance of showers Friday and Saturday.
Don’t forget that today is Sunday, and that means it is Lobster Special Day at Ikigai by Robby Molina.
Solar eclipses are ALWAYS new moons, because the dark side of the moon must be facing us for it to get in the way of the sun. Daytime low tides look pretty mild. Have a great Sunday!
