Good morning Bay Islands and welcome to November. Our beautiful weather continues and our photo of the day comes from Kellie Mahrenholz who captured the still sea from Picacho Hill looking at Diamond Rock. Most of today will be just like this. As we get into the evening hours, we will have increasing clouds and increasing chances of rain, especially toward nightfall, overnight and tomorrow morning. But after we get through this bit of rain, things look lovely for most of next week. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Keena Haylock and shows rays of light beaming down on a cruise ship. We won’t have this much cloud cover today. We will have mostly sunny skies and calm winds and seas, a virtually perfect island day. Tonight into tomorrow we will see increasing showers that will last through Monday morning, through winds and seas will remain relatively calm outside of squalls. Monday afternoon into much of next week looks beautiful. Don’t forget much of North America turns their clocks back one hour tonight, meaning that through mid-March we will be the same as North America Mountain Time. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Thomas Greiner and show this morning’s twilight, a calm sea and a clear view of the mountains on the mainland. Today and tomorrow we have picture perfect weather, with an extremely low chance of any showers, light and variable winds and very calm seas. Sunday looks like a good chance of rain, though still fairly calm winds and seas. Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is moonrise over Utila from Brenda Jones. This morning we are dealing with more scattered showers, including one that has dropped about an inch and a half on West Bay/West End since 5:30 a.m. Today we will see a few rain showers, but rain should start decreasing today. Our strong west winds and choppy seas should also calm by afternoon. Tomorrow into the weekend we will be quite dry and calm, beautiful island weather. Rain chances start to pick up a bit on Sunday. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is a happy pumpkin on a sunnier day on Camp Bay from Shelley Shepard Zanutto. Most of us are dealing with showers this morning, good for about a quarter of an inch since midnight, though the east side of Utila has gotten 2.6 inches with some pretty heavy downpours. We’re also dealing with a stiff west wind at 15-20 mph giving us 3-4 foot seas from the west, so this is one of the 15-20 days each year it is wavy on West Bay Beach. Scattered showers and west winds will be the rule today and tomorrow, then things get a bit better toward the end of the week.

On satellite at 7:30 a.m. we can see that the west side and Utila have more cloud cover and the east side and Guanaja have scattered clouds. Rain is moving from northwest to southeast and we should see fewer rain showers midday and afternoon, though still and chance of rain that continues through tomorrow. Winds tomorrow should be similar to today, but Wednesday things start getting better, with lower chances of rain and calmer seas. Thursday into the weekend looks gorgeous, with calmer seas and very low rain chances.

Tides are running on the high side under a waning full moon. Have a great week!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Matthew Harper and shows a tern waiting for a boat at the end of the dock in Helene with the mainland clear in the background. We had quite a rainy day yesterday with most locations getting 2-3 inches. As we wake up this morning there are some showers over Utila, but today should be a little less rainy than yesterday.

At 6:45 a.m. we see a few showers scattered around the islands. We expect partly cloudy skies and a shower here or there. Our wind today will be from the northwest 5-10 mph and seas around 2 feet north side. Tomorrow into Monday winds will turn more westerly and pick up to 15 mph with seas north and west side 3-4 feet. That’s not terrible, but for folks at West Bay Beach that aren’t used to waves, that can seem pretty wavy. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Bay Islands. The view this morning at CoCo View on the south side shows seas dead calm. We are getting ready for a miniature norther. Winds won’t be that strong, but what winds we get will be from the West today around 5-10 mph with seas 1-2 feet and from the north/northwest tomorrow 7-12 mph and seas around 2 feet. That’s not much wave, but what waves we get will be north and west sides of the island. As we get into Sunday/Monday waves from the north will increase to 3 feet. The main story with this mini norther is the rain. Models give us 3-4 inches through Monday morning. If it’s any consolation, next week looks drier than this week.

Getting ready for Real Madrid/Barca on Sunday? Make sure you head to Carniceria Rosita in Coxen Hole or French Harbour. Remember, the best meat market on Roatan is open Saturdays but closed Sundays.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Ken Meissner, who captured this double rainbow looking out from Gibson Bight yesterday evening. Most of the west side of the island got a total of 2-3+ inches while most of the east side got 1-2 inches. Today we start to get a little drier.

At 7:30 a.m. we can see most of the weather is off the Nicaragua coast, and should stay down there. We have partly cloudy skies and should stay that way most of today. We will have east winds around 10 mph and seas around 2 feet, while tomorrow and Wednesday look dead calm, so great days to be out on the sea.

More than a catamaran tour, it’s a whole Caribbean experience.

Sail, snorkel, swim, relax, and discover Roatan from a whole new point of view. With Jolly Roger, the adventure starts the moment you step aboard.

Tides continue quite mild and running on the high side. Have a great week!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Brenda LeTarte who captured Pico Bonito shrouded in clouds from Utila. We have plenty of clouds around and a little rain this morning. Yesterday most of us got a nice steady rain, especially the folks around West Bay and West End where totals were over 2 inches. We will deal with scattered showers again today, with winds a little higher than we’ve been experiencing, 10-15 mph and seas around 2 feet. Winds and seas will be fairly calm most of the week ahead and we will be dealing with scattered showers. Tuesday and Wednesday look like the driest days in the week ahead, and even then we may see a shower here and there. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Brad Ryon captured these twin water spouts looking south from Utila on Tuesday. With a stormy weekend in the forecast, it possible we will see more of these. They are not as dangerous as land tornadoes, as their winds are generally around 40 mph, but still stay away from them.

At 8:30 a.m. we have mostly sunny skies over our islands with a storm over the Mosquito Coast. That storm should stay over there and we should be partly cloudy today, but we can’t rule out a shower here or there. Rain chances increase overnight into tomorrow morning. Friday looks much like today, but the weekend still has the potential to be quite rainy with the cold front stalling to our north, keeping the moisture pretty thick over our islands. Most models predict 2-3 inches. Winds remain mild, mostly from the east 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet. Have a great Thursday!
