Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Bella Chamberlain from her place between Milton Bight and Politilly. It shows a gorgeous sunrise she calls “fire over ash.” Lots of folks are taking advantage of the dry weather to burn off fields.
Here is this morning’s satellite. We again see rain off the coast of Belize and north of the Mosquito Coast. Those areas are shown with blue arrows. The red arrows shows us, with a few clouds but no rain. This weekend we will have about a 20 percent chance of rain. During the week ahead, I hate to say it, but the rain chances look even less, maybe 10 percent.
I came across this weather story on Twitter. It has the promising headline “Massive Rain Central America” and indeed this weekend and early next week the Pacific coast of Honduras and El Salvador are going to have some very bad flooding. You may have seen video yesterday of street flooding in Tegucigalpa. But what caught my eye is the area where I added the arrow. The one dry hole in Central America is right over us.
Here is the Euro forecast for rain for the next week. Guess where the only dry hole is?
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with 20 mph east winds on the east side of Roatan, giving us 3 foot seas southside. Winds are much less on the west side and Utila. Actually they have a light westerly breeze. As the day goes on winds will calm to around 15 mph and 2 foot seas midday, but this evening things will get windier and overnight we will be around 25 mph from the east and 4 foot seas. Tomorrow looks like a 20 mph east wind and 3 foot seas southside. Monday things get a little calmer with 10-15 mph east winds.
I just pulled out a rack of baby back ribs from the freezer and set them to thaw. I have no doubt we’ll be eating good tonight because ribs from Carniceria Rosita can’t miss.
Lowest tide is 10:30 a.m. Have a great weekend!
