Sept. 18, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Yesterday I said we have a stop sign over Roatan when it comes to rain and last night was another example. On the satellite you can see a storm pop up just to our east and just as it looks like it’s going to pass over the island itContinue reading “Sept. 18, 2022”

Sept. 17, 2022, Good morning, Roatan! We still have clouds to our east, but there seems to be a stop sign keeping the rain from spreading over our island. I’d be willing to bet Guanaja got some this morning. We’ll keep it partly cloudy through the morning with a small chance of a shower. WindsContinue reading “Sept. 17, 2022”

Sept. 16, 2022: Good morning, Roatan. Around 6 p.m. yesterday, those of you on the west side of the island were fortunate to get an evening shower. Those of us midisland and east side were left high and dry. Mud Hole was the big winner with half an inch. Sandy Bay got a little overContinue reading “Sept. 16, 2022”

Sept. 15, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! This morning we have an official Tropical Storm Fiona in the Atlantic, but we also have good agreement that she is going to turn north and away from us.

Tropical update for Sept. 14, 2022: The National Hurricane Center has designated a disturbance in the central Atlantic as Tropical Depression #7. You will notice the forecast cone (called the “cone of uncertainty) goes pretty far south on its southern end and if it followed that path it would give us something to watch outContinue reading “Tropical update for Sept. 14, 2022”

Sept. 14, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We have some clouds to our east that might bring someone a pop-up shower, but is more likely just to give us a partly cloudy morning.

Tropical update for Sept. 13, 2022: This morning we have two disturbances in the eastern Atlantic that have chances to develop as tropical storms. The one marked with the orange X has a 40 percent chance of development over three days. The models show this heading toward Puerto Rico and eventually perhaps the Gulf ofContinue reading “Tropical update for Sept. 13, 2022”

Sept. 13, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! As you can see in this morning’s satellite image as of 6:45 a.m., a wave of clouds were moving over the island in the upper levels of the atmosphere, but little if any rain seems to be connected with these clouds. Today winds will continue to calm to 5-10Continue reading “Sept. 13, 2022”

Sept. 12, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Yesterday saw the return of trade winds and higher seas. We will continue to have winds higher than last week, but they will calm somewhat during the day to around 7-12 mph and seas will be around 2 feet (.6 meters) on the south side. At night we willContinue reading “Sept 12, 2022”

Sept. 10, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We woke up to clouds, especially on the west side and over Utila but it seems none of us got any rain this morning (the Utila weather station is not working). Today is the day the wind picks up after a glorious week of calm seas. Winds should reallyContinue reading “Sept. 10, 2022”
