After Beryl has passed well into the Gulf of Mexico, we are ready to start our photo contest for the month of July, with a free round-trip on the Galaxy Wave to Guanaja as the prize. We start with an appropriate rainbow taken by Mirka Štekláčová from Czech Village looking to the south of Oakridge. We’ve had a few showers around this morning, but those should decrease as we get toward midday and we will have quite calm conditions this weekend. Chances of rain are pretty good tomorrow and next week looks drier, with easterly trade winds picking up. More in comments.
As you can see on satellite, we have a dying storm moving in from the east, so this morning there will be a small chance of a shower. Our weather is humid and unsettled, so this afternoon into tonight there is a 40 percent chance of rain. Tomorrow there will be a scattered showers as our Storm Behind Beryl moves in. I would say we have a good chance at another inch of rain around the island, especially tomorrow.
This morning Sandy Bay picked up around a quarter of an inch.
I labeled the little storm cloud that brought rain to Sandy Bay this morning. There is a large mass of clouds to our east, but the part closest to us doesn’t have much rain in it, but to the east there is still a nice thunderstorm. We will see if it can stay alive long enough to make it here in a few hours.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: This will be a very calm weekend, with east/northeast winds 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet, more toward 1 foot tomorrow, so if you’re willing to dodge a few showers, a great weekend to be on the sea. Starting Monday we will pick up our 15-20 mph east winds again, with 3-4 foot seas south side.
Low tide is 3:10 p.m. Have a great weekend!
