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”

Tropical update for Sept. 21, 2023: Tropical weather has been pretty quiet here in the Caribbean. Fortunately we haven’t had any disturbances in awhile, which is good because the waters are quite hot. The red X shown in the central Atlantic Ocean is headed west toward the Lesser Antilles. Current computer models show this stormContinue reading “Tropical update for Sept. 21, 2023”

Sept. 21, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Overnight we had quite a bit of storminess to our east, but it stayed to our east. We are getting a few clouds from it at 7 a.m. but it doesn’t look like there’s much rain. We’re windier than we’ve been in awhile with 15 mph winds andContinue reading “Sept. 21, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. At 7:30 a.m. we have a lot of rain off the Mosquito Coast but most of that is moving away from us. We have a few scattered showers northeast of Barbarat, so a stray shower is not out of the question for some of us this morning. We will be partly cloudy todayContinue reading “September 20, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. At 7:30 a.m., we have a few small showers, one that is bringing a third of an inch to Palmetto Bay and another bringing some rain to Guanaja. These are very small showers that will pass quickly and decrease as the morning moves along. We will continue mostly calm with east winds 5-10Continue reading “September 19, 2023”
