Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Brian Galbrysh, showing yoga practice on West End beach.

We should start seeing more sun in the days ahead after quite a bit of cloudiness and rain. This morning most of us have had a quarter to a third of an inch of rain. After this clears out we will discuss rain totals, most of which came from the very first day of rain on Sunday. Things look pretty good from this afternoon until Monday afternoon.

Here is the radar at 7:50 a.m. We have clouds and some showers around with a mild east wind. As the morning goes on we should see that wind turn to the west but it won’t be as strong as we once feared, only 10-15 mph and seas around 4 feet, but still wavy on West Bay Beach. Rain should get lighter and skies should get clearer as we get into the evening and tomorrow through Sunday rain chances will be low and what rain we get should be overnights and early mornings.



Wind and wave forecast: Winds will turn to the west this afternoon at 10-15 mph and seas around 4 feet. Tomorrow west winds will start at 10 mph and calm to 5 mph in the afternoon with seas going from 4 feet to 3 feet. Friday very light winds turn to the east with 2 foot seas. The weekend will have east winds 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet.

In the extended forecast we have another norther Monday evening into most of next week. It should be weaker than the one we’ve just had, with less rain and wind, but it will still turn winds to the north and give us scattered showers through most of next week.

One of the great things about snorkeling on an island is when we have north winds we can go on the Southside and when we have east winds (most of the year) we can go on the protected northwest side of the island. Jolly Roger Roatan has experts that will find the calmest cove for your snorkeling delight along with a pleasant boat ride and great food and drink.

Lowest tides are 4:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Have a great Wednesday!
