Good morning and welcome to October. No rainfall since midnight for most of us on Roatan. Looks like several locations on Utila got a decent rain around 3 a.m. There was also some rain before midnight on Utila. On satellite this morning we see lots of clouds from the north that are very thin, looking like cottonContinue reading “October 1, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. These are rain totals since midnight, and much of the rain you see here came just after midnight. Palmetto Bay picked up over a half inch. None of the Utila stations reported rain. A 6:48 a.m. most of the storminess is over toward Puerto Cortes moving away from us. We have mostly highContinue reading “September 30, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. We have some storms well to our north. They are drifting south very slowly. Over the next three hours (7-10 a.m.) we will probably see quite a few clouds from this, and possibly a shower here or there. This afternoon should be mostly sunny with fairly calm winds and seas.Tonight we will have anotherContinue reading “Sept. 29, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. This morning the storms have mostly moved well to our north. There is a small shower to the east of Guanaja at 7 a.m. The problem with these storms is that there isn’t a lot of wind in the upper atmosphere, so these storms are mostly staying in one place, notContinue reading “September 28, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. We have scattered showers around at 7:30 a.m., including one in West Bay … … that has given them over half an inch of rain as of 7:30. We will have scattered thundershowers today, with about a 50 percent chance. We will continue to have 2-3 foot seas, higher around squalls,Continue reading “September 27, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. At 7:15 a.m. you can see there are two storms in the Caribbean, one just to our east and one south of Cuba. The one to our east has been weakening over the last two hours and the rain and thunder shifting to the north. One thing this storm has doneContinue reading “September 26, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. I did a video to talk about a small storm the GFS model is predicting for Wednesday, mainly to our north. It isn’t a huge deal, but it would basically be a very small tropical depression that passes about 50 miles to our north.Today and tomorrow we will continue to haveContinue reading “September 25, 2023”

Sept. 24, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. We have some rain and clouds moving south from our north, much like we had yesterday. Yesterday those clouds made it here and gave some of us around an inch of rain mid morning. These clouds are a little further east than those were, but it is possibleContinue reading “September 24, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. We have a few showers in the western portion of the Caribbean at 7 a.m. moving south. These will probably fall apart as the morning goes on, but there is a chance that western Roatan or Utila gets a midmorning shower out of one of these. We will have light winds, 1 foot seasContinue reading “Sept. 23, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. We had a little bit of rain early this morning in the madrugada (that’s definitely one of my favorite Spanish words, meaning the early morning hours before dawn. We have nothing like it in English.). The rain was mostly midisland to the east side. This morning we’re mostly clear. There is a small areaContinue reading “September 22, 2023”
