Dec. 20, 2021: This morning we have some high clouds, but mostly sunny skies across our islands. If you are from North America, we are about to experience a cold front similar to the ones we are used to, where the rain is mostly concentrated right along the front and therefore the rain event is pretty short-lived.
Today we will have mostly sunny skies with east winds 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters). Tomorrow we will have increasing clouds and scattered showers with winds turning to the west then northwest at 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet. Wednesday the front should come through between 6 a.m. and noon and rain could be heavy along the front. As it passes, we will have north winds in the 20-25 mph range and seas on the north side could get up to 6 feet (2 meters) so be careful on the seas. After Wednesday the weather looks gorgeous. We will likely be in for an extended period of dry weather with winds from the north/northeast 5-10 mph and seas at 2-3 feet. We may even feel a little chill in the air for the holiday weekend with lows in the lower 70s and perhaps some upper 60s. Enjoy!

Dec. 19, 2021: Good morning, Roatan from Jonesville Point. Our weather station is not online yet until we get internet service up and running, but I can tell you this location will give us a good measure of the true speed of those east winds off the sea. In Lucy Point we were protected from the east winds, but here we get to enjoy their cooling power in full. Our winds this morning have consistently been in the 20 mph range.

Today will be sunny and clear like yesterday with east/southeast winds 15-20 mph and seas at 3 feet (1 meter) especially on the southside.

Tomorrow we will have a small chance of a morning shower, but otherwise mostly sunny with winds a little lower, around 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters).

Tuesday we will have increasing clouds and increasing rain chances with the approach of our cold front. Winds will turn to the west, then the northwest at 7-12 mph. Tuesday night and Wednesday morning should be the best chance of rain for the week as the cold front passes through. This should give us some of the strongest north winds we’ve had here for a while, around 17-22 mph, so the surf on the north side should really be up, perhaps in the 5-6 foot (1.6-2 meter) range.

I strongly suspect Thursday morning and Friday morning we may get temperatures in the upper 60s. This sets up the holiday weekend to be one of the nicest we’ve had on the island in awhile. The forecast model you see here runs through midnight Saturday into Sunday. Enjoy!

Dec. 16, 2021: Good evening, Roatan. Sorry for the late update. If you watch us on Wunderground you know that the Lucy Point station is offline. It will reappear as the Jonesville Point station. Hopefully this weekend if I can get internet up and running. Most of the island got between 1 and 2 inches yesterday. Today has been fairly nice.Tomorrow will be like today, with a chance of a morning shower. Saturday there is a low chance of a morning shower, maybe 30 percent and Sunday is even lower, maybe 10 percent. Around Thursday of next week it looks like we will get a cold front that will actually pass through, giving us another shot of cool air and perhaps some nights under 70 degrees for the following weekend. Have a great Thursday!

Dec. 15, 2021: Rain totals were mostly between an inch and a half and a little over 2 inches yesterday. West End only got .69 yesterday but has already gotten over half an inch this morning.
Rain should continue today with east winds 7-15 mph and seas at 3 feet (1 meter). Tomorrow the rain chances should be a little less, around 50 percent. Winds will be calmer and seas will be between 2 and 3 feet. On Friday any scattered showers will mostly be in the morning. Saturday and Sunday are still looking good, though there will be about a 30 percent chance of a shower on Saturday. We’re starting to see indications we may get our next cold wave next Thursday. Have a great Wednesday!

Dec. 14, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! Folks on the west side of the island got pretty wet yesterday morning, with many locations getting over an inch. Mid-island got about a half inch, but here on Lucy Point it didn’t rain at all throughout the day.
But this morning it did. We woke up to .07 of an inch by 7:30 a.m. and more is coming. We will have off and on rain today, tonight and tomorrow. Winds will be from the east/northeast at 10-15 mph with 3 foot (1 meter) seas today. Seas tomorrow should be similar but the winds should be a little lower at 7-12 mph. We should see less rain and more sun Thursday and Friday, though there will still be scattered showers those day. Saturday and Sunday look to be nice days. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Roatan! Looks like the west side of the island especially got wet this morning. Larry Rapp in West Bay reports .65 of an inch, West End got 1.20, Sandy Bay .65, Coral View .50, but down to .05 in Politilly and .08 here on Lucy Point. Today we will have a chance of rain throughout the day, but especially in the morning and late evening hours. Our best chance of sun will be in the middle of the day. Winds will be from the east/northeast at 7-12 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters). Rain chances are high Tuesday and Wednesday throughout the days and nights. Winds will be moderate at 7-12 mph from the east/northeast, but seas will be choppy at 3 feet (1 meter). Thursday and Friday we will have scattered showers, but the chances will be lower at around 40 percent. Sunday and the first part of next week look pretty nice right now. Have a great week!

Dec. 12, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We have had another dry 24 hours. I’m going to guess that in the week ahead we aren’t going to have many completely dry days and nights, though I think we will see some sun in the week ahead as well.
Today we’ll have partly cloudy skies with east winds 12-17 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters). Tonight the chances of rain go up, especially after midnight. Tomorrow we will have a chance of rain, especially in the morning and evening hours with east/northeast winds 5-10 mph. Tuesday and Wednesday are the highest-rain-chance days of the week with east winds 7-12 mph and seas at 3 feet (1 meter). Rain chances continue but will be a little lower Thursday into the weekend, perhaps 40 percent each day and winds quite calm on Thursday and Friday. Have a great Sunday!

Dec. 11, 2021: We’ve had a dry 24 hours on the island.
Today we will have winds from the east at 12-17 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters) under partly cloudy to clear skies. Overnight we will have a small chance of a shower, but tomorrow should be nice and similar to today. Rain chances increase Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday look like the best chances of rain next week, though there will be a chance each day. Winds should be calmer next week.

Dec. 10, 2021: Sorry for the late post. We are in the middle of the process of moving from Lucy Point to Jonesville Point. We are still counting the rain on Lucy Point and we had over half an inch in the early morning rains. It seems most people got between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.
We should stay pretty dry today, tonight and tomorrow. Winds will be from the east 12-17 mph and seas will be 2-3 (.6-1 meter) Saturday night we will have a small chance of a shower and Sunday should again be nice. On Monday our winds switch around to the east/northeast and calm a little to 7-12 mph. Rain chances Monday are about 50/50 and Tuesday and Wednesday look pretty rainy.

Dec. 9, 2021: Good morning, Roatan. We have some scattered rain clouds around this morning, and at 7:30 we are having a light shower on Lucy Point. Jimmy Andrade in Camp Bay says he got a good rain last night as well.
We’ll have partly cloudy skies today and continued east winds at 12-20 mph and 2-3 foot (.6 to 1 meter) seas. There will be a chance of rain around today, but especially in the morning and evening hours. Tomorrow the chance of showers will be mostly in the morning and winds will be easterly 12-17 mph and 2 foot (.6 meter) seas. Saturday the winds shift to east/southeast at 10-15 mph and 2 foot seas. The small rain chance Saturday is mostly in the evening. Sunday rain chances start to build and Monday and Tuesday look pretty rainy right now, setting up a wet week next week. Have a good Thursday!
