Good morning Bay Islands and welcome to October. Our photo of the day comes from John Norburn who captured this waterspout near the Utila Cays. You may also have seen a video that was passed around from West Bay of a waterspout. Ironically West Bay recorded no actual rain, while mid-island and east end got up to 2.5 inches. We will see continued rain chances and calm seas.
Here is the rainfall for yesterday. You will notice mid-island got a lot of rain in about a 1 hour period. The atmosphere we’re currently dealing with can produce a storm at any time, but most of the time we will be partly cloudy. Our winds and seas continue to be quite calm, so most of the time our weather is picture perfect, we just need to deal with occasional showers.
Our satellite at 7:45 a.m. shows mostly clear skies over us and a few popcorn clouds to our west. These clouds aren’t moving much, since there isn’t a lot of wind, even up in the atmosphere. That means if you get a rainstorm, it doesn’t move away quickly and you can easily pick up 1-2 inches before it rains itself out.
Tides continue to run high. Have a great Wednesday!
