Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s photo of the day comes from Erin Maria who was visiting West End from Northern Ireland when she captured this man contemplating a Roatan sunset. We should have another nice day today and increasing clouds tomorrow as our tropical wave nears. The National Hurricane Center has taken us out of any risk for tropical storm development, so that is good news.

You can clearly see the tropical wave in the Caribbean east of Nicaragua. Today will be mostly sunny with only a very small chance of a passing shower.
Tomorrow we will have increasing clouds and an increasing chance of rain as we get into the evening and overnight hours.
Right now, tomorrow night into Friday morning looks like our best chance of rain.
Friday into the weekend we will have 30 percent chances of rain.
Next week it looks like 40 percent chances each day as we enter a period with lots of scattered showers.

You can see that the National Hurricane Center has taken us out of any risk of tropical storm development and the Gulf of Mexico only has a 10 percent chance.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We wake up to east winds 5 mph and seas 2 feet southside. We will remain calm today with seas 1-2 feet. Tomorrow will also be calm, but watch out for squalls tomorrow afternoon and night that can whip up the seas. This weekend we should have east winds 15-20 mph and seas 2-3 feet south side and next week looks quite calm again.

I’m going to be my own sponsor today. I’m selling my 2012 Ford Escape.
It has a new paint job and undercarriage rust protection
New suspension
Cold AC
127,000 miles
I’m asking 175,000 lempiras ($7,000) negotiable. I’ll be heading toward Coxen Hole this afternoon if anyone wants to take a look.

High and low tides are quite mild. Have a great Wednesday!
