Good morning Bay Islands. On our 7:50 a.m. satellite we can see a storm approaching Utila from the west. We still haven’t gotten any rain recorded at our stations on the east side of Utila, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone on Utila sees a shower this morning. The rest of us are partly cloudy and dry. The trend continues to be dry and we will have a couple of breezy days.
Our forecast for the next few days will continue to have a chance of showers, especially overnights and early mornings, but those chances are going down each day. We look pretty dry through the weekend.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start out the day with 15 mph east winds and seas around 3 feet. Utila is starting out with 10 mph southwest winds. Roatan should calm a bit to 7-12 mph and 2 feet midday but for the most part the next couple of days will be breezy with 15 mph east winds, up to 20 mph overnights, and seas mostly 3 feet. Thursday we will start to calm a bit and Friday into the weekend look quite calm.
I haven’t said much about the tropics, because there hasn’t been much to say. Hurrican Gabrielle is turning out into the north Atlantic and may even threaten northern Spain this weekend. The red area could develop into a hurricane, but even that should turn back out to sea. And there is NOTHING in the Caribbean to worry about for the next two weeks.
Mitch Cummins is soon to return to the island, but he has left his healthy Roatan Pets production in good hands. Contacts him if you would like more information about locally sourced food specially designed for your furry friend.
Tides continue to be quite moderate. Have a great Tuesday!
