Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day shows a ray of light coming through the clouds over Infinity Bay. Manny Selva took it while visiting the island with his wife Judi and their kids and grandkids.
We haven’t seen many rays of light this morning, but Utila finally got a big rain that its been waiting for a couple of months.
In this satellite image taken at 6 a.m., you would think all the islands were getting a good rain, but you can see the clouds to the west are more intense, with ridges at the top that indicate deeper convection and therefore more intense rain. The west side has only gotten a few hundredths of an inch this morning while …
… on radar you can see lots of rain toward Utila at 6 a.m. It has decreased in intensity as of 7 a.m. but still some showers are falling. Pumpkin Hill on North Utila has gotten almost 2 inches while most other stations on the island have gotten almost an inch. This storm should continue weakening as the morning goes on, but we will keep a chance of scattered showers through the day and into tomorrow morning. Partly cloudy skies and an occasional shower will continue into the first part of the weekend. Right now Sunday and Monday look like our best chance at completely dry days.
If anyone knows how to dodge the raindrops, it is Jolly Roger Roatan, who will find a quiet cove for your island excursion and get you back on board ship right on time.
Trade winds from the east will continue to be around 15 mph and 3 foot seas days and 20 mph and 4 foot seas overnights.
Low tide is 9:40 a.m. Have a great Wednesday!
