Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Jennifer DeWitt and shows the rainy day we had yesterday on the northeast end of the big island looking back to the south.
Most of us got 1-2 inches yesterday and we’ve started out this morning with about a tenth of an inch as of 7 a.m. Starting tomorrow afternoon we are looking for drier conditions as Potential Tropical Storm Rafael draws moisture away from us as it head through Jamaica and Cayman.
On radar this morning we see a lot of scattered showers at 7 a.m. All of this activity is slowly drifting to the west. The next 24 hours we will have off-and-on showers, especially this evening and overnight. After some morning showers tomorrow, we really expect things to get drier for the period Tuesday through Thursday. This coming weekend we are still looking for a weak norther to bring better rain chances back.
Here is the expected path of Raphael, which is forecast to become a hurricane, but well to our northeast.
This is the potential rainfall forecast from the National Hurricane Center. You can barely see Guanaja on the far left of this map. You will note our Bay Islands have a forecast for 1-2 inches, but most of that should fall in the next 24 hours.
Wind and Galaxy wave forecast: We continue to have northeast winds quite light at 5-10 mph, but seas around 3 feet. Those conditions continue throughout today, but tomorrow and Wednesday we will see winds shifting to the west/northwest, but remaining light. Seas should be 2-3 feet tomorrow and 1-2 feet Wednesday, with the trend being for calmer waters into the weekend.
