Good morning. Our photo of the day comes from Jessica Van Gundy and shows the boats in the tranquil waters West Bay. We’ve been enjoying tranquil waters for the big fishing tournament, though this morning the winds are up slightly, from the east at 15 mph and seas 2-3 feet. By midday they should calm to 10 mph and 2 feet. Tomorrow for the last day of the tourney we should be even calmer, with 10-15 mph east winds in the morning and 2 foot seas and 5-10 mph winds and 1 foot seas midday.
At 7:15 a.m. we’ve had some high clouds pass over the island, but no rain recorded. Rain chances will continue to be low, 10 percent today and 20 percent tonight into tomorrow morning. Sunday looks nice as well. Sunday night the rain chance goes up to 30 percent and 40 percent for Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Tropical Storm Gordon is in the middle of the Atlantic and is not a threat to anyone. I posted this forecast model because it predicts a storm forming off the coast of Nicaragua next Saturday that goes due north. That is a very odd direction for a storm to take. We will keep an eye on forecast models to see if they maintain this prediction. Right now I wouldn’t worry too much.
This weekend will be a great time to take a break from the fishing tournament and Independence festivities to enjoy an awesome Asian/Italian/Caribbean fusion meal on the back porch of Ikigai by Robby Molina. And don’t forget the lobster special tomorrow!
Low tide will be right around noon. Have a great weekend!
