Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Robert Rhorer, who captured this classic storm creating a waterspout near Big Bight on the first day of the month. It is a classic look at an updraft creating a waterspout that feeds the storm cloud. The top five most-liked photos will compete tomorrow for $50 in Café Rubio coffee. Next month, the prize will be a $50 gift certificate to Umbul Umbul.
Here is the radar at 7:30 a.m. There are plenty of showers around and they are drifting to the west very slowly. We will keep a good chance of showers around today and into the weekend. Rain will be off-and-on and we will have periods of sunshine. Winds this morning are from the northeast at 5-10 mph and seas 2-3 feet. This evening we may see winds get up to 10-15 mph with 3 foot seas, but winds tomorrow into the weekend should be very light and seas remain 2-3 feet.
Here is the box for development of some sort of tropical storm. There is a 50 percent chance over the next week. The Canadian still has a storm developing and moving to our north. The GFS has a storm developing and moving well to our east. The Euro has a very weak storm moving north of us. In any case, all them say that next week will likely be less rainy than this week. That doesn’t mean no rain, it just means less rain.
