Nov. 18, 2021: Finally a chance to dry out! We should have partly cloudy skies with east winds a little higher than we’ve been used to, around 12-17 mph and seas 2-3 feet (.6 to 1 meter). Today through Sunday chances of rain will be very low and mostly at night.

Winds should calm a bit tomorrow at 5-10 mph and seas at 1 foot.

Clouds will start increasing Monday as the next cold front nears. Tuesday and Wednesday look rainy and the front may pass through making next Thursday nice a cool with a lower chance of rain.

Nov. 17, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! Most locations have gotten decent rain over the last 24 hours. On Lucy Point we got an inch yesterday and about a half inch this morning. Utila reports 1.8 inches but other locations have gotten less — .4 of an inch in First Bight and only .2 of an inch in Camp Bay.

Today we maintain a chance of rain, but perhaps less as the day goes on and hopefully more sun than yesterday. Thursday and Friday the chance of rain stays low and will mostly be at night. Winds today will turn around and start coming more from the east at 7-12 mph, which will lower the waves on the north side and raise them on the south side. We’ll stay around 2 feet on the waves (.6 meter). This weekend still looks pretty nice. Rain chances increase first of next week. A lot of folks have been asking about U.S. Thanksgiving next Thursday. It definitely looks cool, as the cold front will have passed over. It is still too early to say whether it will be clear or whether we will still have some clouds and misty rain. Have a great Wednesday!

Nov. 16, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We got quite a bit of rain yesterday and Mas TV had video of street flooding in Franco Flat. Sandy Bay had the most rain, with 4.4 inches since yesterday as of 8 a.m. this morning. West Bay had 1.9 inches, West End 1.92, Coral View 2.52, First Bight 2.65, Politilly 2.10, Lucy Point 1.87 and Camp Bay 2.50.

There are quite a bit of clouds and probably rain over toward Guanaja and to the east at 8 a.m. We will have a good chance of rain throughout the day, but much like the last three days, there will be periods without rain and even peeks of sunshine. Winds will be light and variable, though mostly from the north around 5-10 mph and seas at 2 feet.

Tomorrow afternoon we should start to see clearing and Thursday looks like a nice day right now. The weekend looks decent, with smaller chances of scattered showers. Our next cold front gets close to us next week on Wednesday. Have a great Tuesday!

Forecast for Nov. 15, 2021: High rain chances will stick around through Wednesday morning. The best chance for seeing some sun will be in the afternoon hours, both today and tomorrow. Winds this afternoon will be 10-15 mph from the north/northeast, giving up 2 foot waves on the north side. Winds will be light and variable Tuesday and Wednesday. We should dry out Wednesday afternoon and Thursday.

Nov. 14, 2021: Good morning, Roatan. We didn’t get as much rain as we thought we were going to. Showers about noon and 7:30 p.m. gave Politilly and Coral View about a quarter of an inch yesterday. Politilly also picked up .18 about 2:45 this morning.

We are still looking for scattered showers under partly cloudy skies the next three days. Rain will be more widespread at night. It just depends on where you are as to how much you are going to get. That’s the nature of these tropical downpours. Some people get 3 inches and some people get nothing. Winds today will be from the northwest at 7-12 mph and even calmer tomorrow and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday we will have a lower chance of rain. Have a great Sunday!

Nov. 13, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! As you can see in the radar and feel if you walk outside, there are rain showers around. Most of us got between half an inch and an inch this morning. The showers north of the island are generally moving southwest, so there will be a good chance of rain today. This is life in the tropics in the rainy season and it looks like we will be dealing with off and on rain through Tuesday. Winds will be fairly calm, but what winds we have will come from the west/northwest. I always love snorkeling and diving in this sort of weather, because the sea is pretty calm and you’re already going to get wet anyway 🙂
Have a great weekend!

The only action on the satellite this morning is some rain to the northwest of Utila which passed through that island earlier this morning, giving Mark Andrade .80 of an inch of rain there. Other than that we are partly cloudy across the Bay Islands this morning.

Today looks like a pretty good day with partly cloudy skies, light winds, calm seas and only a small chance of a passing shower. Tonight into tomorrow morning we will have a good chance of rain.

Tomorrow we’ll have partly cloudy skies and a chance of a shower with northwest winds 5-10 mph, but seas still fairly calm.

This theme will repeat through about Tuesday, with fairly calm winds and seas and about a 40 chance of getting a shower during the day and about a 60 percent chance at night. After Tuesday things look a little drier for a couple of days.

Nov. 11, 2021: Good morning Roatan! Yesterday we were socked in with low clouds and couldn’t get out of the rain. Pretty much everybody got a half inch, but Coral View and First Bight got a little over an inch.
Today we are back to partly cloudy skies and calm winds and seas. Today will be a beautiful day, much like Tuesday was.

Friday through Sunday we’ll have scattered showers under partly to mostly cloudy skies and calm seas and winds. This time the cold front is stalling north of us, so we won’t get the north winds we’ve gotten with the last few cold fronts.

Monday and Tuesday look very rainy right now. Enjoy this beautiful Thursday!

Nov. 10, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! Most of us got a shower this morning around 5 a.m. Rain totals ranged from .65 of an inch in West Bay to a third of an inch in Sandy Bay, about a half inch at Coral View, but here on Lucy Point we only recorded .01.

This morning we have some low clouds that bring a chance of a shower through the morning. We’ll have north winds 5-10 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meter) on the north side. This afternoon should be partly cloudy. There’s a pretty good chance of a shower overnight tonight.

Tomorrow rain chances should be low, with light winds and seas at 1 foot (.3 meters)

Friday the chance of scattered showers goes back up and we’ll have a rain chance through the weekend, though winds and seas will remain fairly calm. Right now, Monday and Tuesday look particularly rainy. Have a great Wednesday!

Nov. 9, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We awoke to partly cloudy skies and the first sunshine we’ve had in a while. Radar shows a few showers west of Utila, but moving toward Puerto Cortes and away from us. The big news is we got down to 70 degrees (21 C), the coolest we’ve had all season. We are already at 81 (27 C) at 7 a.m., but the dewpoint is 68 (20 C), meaning the air is relatively dry and comfortable.

Today will be partly cloudy with north winds 7-12 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters) on the north side.

Wednesday and Thursday winds and seas will be quite calm. Though temperatures will get in the mid-80s, dewpoints will stay fairly low, meaning that the air will feel light and fresh.

Rain returns Friday through the weekend, but it is looking like it will be less than what we experienced this past weekend. Have a great week!
