Tropical update for Sept. 23, 2022: Overnight we definitely got clarity as to where our storm is going and it is away from us. Tropical Depression Nine (probably soon to become Hermine) formed a little to the north of where we expected and it is expected to track west until tomorrow evening when a sharpContinue reading “Tropical outlook for Sept. 23, 2022”

Sept. 22, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We have a few clouds and showers around this morning with peeks of sunshine. Utila picked up about half an inch midday yesterday and .05 this morning.

Tropical update for Sept. 22, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! I’m not doing a video today because we don’t know a lot more today than we did yesterday.

When it does, we will know more about what generalContinue reading “Tropical update for Sept. 22, 2022”

Sept. 21, 2022 Tropical Update: Good morning. We have a video explaining how forecast trends seem to indicate the Invest 98L (which should become Hermine) will move westward toward us before likely turning north toward Yucatan or Cuba around Monday.

Sept. 21, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! I want to start of by saying I may have personally caused the rain last night by saying yesterday that there was nothing in the forecast to fill our cisterns. Most of us got a good rain last night. I got a quarter of an inch on Jonesville PointContinue reading “Sept. 21, 2022”

Sept. 20, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We have some pretty calm weather in our forecast. Right now the seas are hardly 1 foot (.3 meters) and they should be that way for the rest of the week. Get ready for some hot weather with mostly clear skies and almost no wind. There will be aContinue reading “Sept. 20, 2022”

Tropical Update for Sept. 20, 2022. I decided there was enough info I needed to do a video. The core point is that the model agree this storm will become a tropical storm/hurricane at some point, the question is when and where as to how much it affects us. BTW, the next tropical storm nameContinue reading “Tropical update for Sept. 20, 2022”

The National Weather Service has now made the area we talked about this morning an area for investigation. Twenty percent chance of tropical development in the next five days.

Sept. 19, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We finally got one of those nighttime showers to give us a little rain, with the emphasis on “a little.” It seems that everyone got wet, but no one got much more than a tenth of an inch of rain, enough to keep the dust down for one morning,Continue reading “Sept. 19, 2022”
