Good morning Bay Islands and welcome to September. Our photo of the day comes from Matthew Harper who captured this cumulus cloud before a squall on Sunday. Our upper atmosphere is quite a bit drier today, so no squalls and mostly sunny skies. The chance of an overnight shower tonight or tomorrow morning is quite low, maybe 10 percent.

On satellite at 7 a.m. we see a few popcorn clouds north of Guanaja, but otherwise mostly clear skies. Our winds and seas are quite calm from the east 5-10 mph and 1-2 feet. They will continue that way through tomorrow morning. Tomorrow evening winds pick up to 15 mph and seas to 2-3 feet. By and large, though, we will continue with our gorgeous weather.

We are entering the months of September and October that I have always said are the best to visit our islands. Winds get calmer in general and rainfall totals are still relatively low. If you are planning a cruise or visit to the islands, contact Jolly Roger Roatan for a guaranteed great time!

Low tides are not particularly low. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Delaney Rose in Utila and shows our waning full moon behind some clouds. We are in a period of gorgeous weather, with calmer winds and seas around 10 mph and seas around 2 feet and very low chances of overnight and early morning showers. Have a great week!

Good morning Bay Islands. We have a few popcorn clouds around at 7:30 a.m. and these have brought a shower here or there, especially mid-island. These will decrease and we will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny today. The big story is calmer winds with seas only around 1-2 feet. This will be a great weekend on the sea. Have a great Saturday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Considering the deep affection islanders have for country music, the death of Dolly is an especially sad day here, so we need a rainbow photo. We have a photo of the day this morning from Katy Pandy, who captured a cruise ship sailing into a rainbow in Flowers Bay. We have rain showers and a little thunder, especially on the far east end and over Guanaja at 6:30 a.m. We will continue to deal with scattered showers, especially mornings with partly cloudy skies afternoons.

Here is the 6:30 a.m. satellite image. The rain over Guanaja and the east end is not moving very fast. For the rest of the morning, we should see the east side rain decrease to partly cloudy skies and I can’t rule out a stray shower midday or afternoon, but most of us should be mostly sunny. Another chance of rain tonight, but it shouldn’t be as much as last night/this morning. Winds should be from the east 15-20 and seas 3-4 feet the next couple of days.

Here are rain totals from midnight to 6:30 a.m. We’ve had a good soaking across our islands.

U.S. Football season is right around the corner. Get your meats for the barbecue at the best place on the island — Carniceria Rosita in French Harbour and Coxen Hole.

Low tide is 1:30 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our satellite at 6:30 a.m. shows rain well away from us, near Puerto Cortes to our southwest and near the Mosquito Coast to our southeast. Today should be a beautiful day for us, with relatively calm winds and seas starting out 15 mph from the east and 2 feet, and calming to 10 mph and 1 foot by afternoon. I can’t rule out a stray shower here or there today, but most of us should be dry. We have a good chance of an overnight or early morning thundershower tomorrow, then mostly sunny again midday before another overnight chance tomorrow night. Tomorrow will start out fairly calm, but get a little windier toward evening with 20 mph winds and 3-4 foot seas. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. This is the 7 a.m. view from Bananrama. You can see the rain in the distance. Around 6 a.m. West Bay received about a third of an inch of rain while no other reporting stations on the islands reported any rain this morning.

At 7 a.m. we can see the big clouds to the west and north of Roatan, mostly moving away from us, but there are a few popcorn clouds to our south, so we can’t rule out a shower here or there this morning, but generally clouds and showers should decrease as the morning goes along. Winds this morning will continue at 15-20 mph from the east with seas 3-4 feet, calming a bit by afternoon to 15 mph and 2-3 foot seas. We will have an even better chance of an overnight or morning shower tonight into tomorrow morning.

Did you know you can order fresh meats on WhatsApp and have the order ready for pickup at Carniceria Rosita?

Tides are pretty mild right now. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our rain system started moving through last night around 9 p.m., when many of us got a strong shower good for between a third and half an inch. This morning as of 7 a.m. most of the rain has fallen on Guanaja with .17 since midnight. The clouds will stick around today with occasional showers, but mostly just cloudy skies with fairly calm winds and seas 2 feet, so it may not be a bad day to be out, since it will be a bit fresher than normal. Tomorrow we go back to typical August weather, with 15 mph east winds, 3 foot seas and chances of rain overnights and early mornings. Have a great week!

Good morning Bay Islands. The rain we were expecting came this morning, with most locations getting between 1 and 2 inches of rain. Rain should get a bit lighter as we get into midday, but I can rule out some showers under mostly cloudy skies.

The infrared radar 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. shows decent showers still to our east, so I can’t say we won’t get a little more rain, but there should be less lightning. Another round of showers is expected tonight into tomorrow morning, then midday tomorrow through Thursday should be mostly dry. Friday into the weekend we have better chances of early morning showers.
Winds will remain steady, from the east 15-20 mph and seas around 3 feet.

Rainy days are great days for tapada, and also great days to remember that Carniceria Rosita in French Harbour and Coxen Hole doesn’t just sell beef and pork, but also has a great selection of seafood.

Lowest tide is 2 p.m. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. At 6:30 a.m. we have a few popcorn clouds in a line north and south of Roatan. It is possible there is a shower somewhere in these clouds, though no rain has been recorded on the island. Any shower would pass by quickly and we will be mostly sunny today. The main story is the wind will be a bit calmer, 10 to 15 mph from the east with seas 2-3 feet. It will be a bit windier tomorrow at 15-20 mph from the east and seas 3-4 feet. Tuesday is the day with a higher chance of rain. Have a great Sunday!
