Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Jim Jaskunas in Sandy Bay and shows a full rainbow yesterday. Tropical Storm Sara left around a foot of rain across our islands and as it exited to our west it strengthened a bit, formed an eye and created what seems to be 50 mph winds (our weather stations didn’t seem to get the peak winds, they only registered 30 mph) and 6 foot waves (again our buoys failed to measure well) on top of what was likely a 3 foot storm surge. This caused significant damage to the south-facing seafront businesses in Utila. The storm is now inland in Belize. Utila had showers earlier this morning. This will start clearing out today.
Here are our rainfall totals. I included the rogue storm Wednesday, though not technically part of Sara.
Today we will keep quite a few clouds around, but only about a 40 percent chance of a passing shower. Winds will be light today, but they will pick up from the east 20 mph tonight with seas 4 feet.
Tomorrow winds will be 15-20 mph from the east during the day and 20-25 mph tomorrow night with seas 3-4 feet.
Monday and Tuesday we probably get a break from the rain, but winds turn to the west Wednesday and a norther comes in Thursday and Friday bringing 20 mph north winds, 5 foot seas northside and rain.
Low tide is 4:30 a.m. Have a great Sunday!
