Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Amy Knadler and shows folks looking longingly at storm clouds in Utila. I have to say I don’t think I’ve been through such a period on the island where rain was falling all around us and not on us. It looks like that may continue.

On satellite we can see clouds to our east, but they aren’t producing as much rain as I hoped. As the entire system moves northwest, that is bad news for our hopes of getting rain.

Keep your eye on our islands in this Euro forecast map through Monday at noon and you can see the rain dancing all around us. We will keep a 20 percent chance of rain around today and tomorrow. If we don’t get get any in the next couple of days you can see that our area gets drier the first of next week.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with southeast winds at 12 mph and seas at 3 feet southside. Today winds will turn more to the east and get a bit stronger, 15 mph by noon and 20 mph by evening with seas getting up to 4 feet. Overnight winds will be 25-30 mph and seas up to 6 feet southside. Tomorrow will be windy, with east winds 20-25 mph and seas 5 feet. Things calm a bit Friday with east winds 15-20 mph and seas 3-4 feet.

It was great to see Ikigai by Robby Molina and Melissa Dixon supporting the public hospital at Roa Fest. From the looks of things, lots of money was raised. It was truly a community effort.

Low tide will be pretty low at 1 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!

I'm a native of Columbus, Ga., but lived from 2003-2019 in Lawton, Oklahoma. I've always been a weather geek and now I get to live the dream on an island that doesn't have a good weather forecast system.
