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”
