Our photo of the day comes from Bena Fremaux, whose family is vacationing on the island. They send their love to the Bay Islands from West End. Many of us got a shower overnight but we are looking for drier weather ahead.
Here is the satellite for 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. You can see storms move across the island. between 2 and 3 a.m. give most of us between a quarter and half an inch of rain. We are still dealing with morning clouds and perhaps a shower here or there, but as we get into the afternoon we will have drier weather and clearer skies.
The reason why we will be having drier weather going forward is shown in this water vapor forecast map, that shows us getting drier yellows and greens for about the next week. That means perhaps a 10-20 percent chance of a shower mornings and overnights and mostly clear skies. We see some moisture return middle of the month. This forecast also shows a tropical system moving through the northern Caribbean. This system does not exist yet and most models show it, if it happens, moving much further north. But we’ll keep an eye on it.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We wake up to east winds 15 mph and seas 2-3 feet. We should get windier this afternoon into the evening, getting up to 25 mph and 4 foot seas. Tomorrow we will be back to 15 mph east winds and 3 foot seas. Thursday through Saturday we’re looking at quite calm conditions, with east winds 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet. That, along with dry weather, should make the end of this week into the weekend the perfect time to get out on the sea.
The perfect folks to get you out into the sea are at Jolly Roger Roatan. Don’t forget that they are available for booking, especially on non-cruise days, for your special events.
Lowest tide is 12:20 p.m. Have a great Tuesday!
