Sept. 15, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We actually had a report of some rain last night. Larry Rapp in West Bay reported .15 of an inch around 9:30 p.m. I’m posting the satellite from around that time, and you can see the classic scenario for rain on the island just after nightfall. Storms tend toContinue reading “Sept. 15, 2021”

Sept. 14, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! Another day with hardly a cloud in the sky. As you can see from this morning’s satellite, it is unusually clear across the entire Central America region.

Quite a windy day yesterday with winds reaching 30 mph at sea and those windy conditions will continue today, with winds reaching 25-30 mph again and seas at 5 feet (1.6 meters).

Sept. 9, 2021: Good morning Roatan: As you can see in the map, the tropical wave we’ve been talking about all week is closing in, but the weather models still don’t want to give us much rain. Let’s hope they’re wrong. Today we’ll have increasing clouds and a chance of rain, especially in the eveningContinue reading “Sept. 9, 2021”

Sept. 8, 2021: For the second time in two weeks, we may have a tropical wave pass over our heads and not give us much rain. At least that is what the models are predicting. This video is the European model of total rainfall into Saturday night, and you can see that it barely givesContinue reading “Sept. 8, 2021”

This morning a pretty big storm is set up on the southern coast of Belize. In this satellite run from around 7 a.m. today, you can see the lightening strikes at the center. That storm is throwing some high clouds this way, but it’s not going to come over us, unfortunately. Today we’ll have TRWContinue reading “Sept. 7, 2021”
