Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Helen Murphy in West Bay showing the Icon of the Seas leaving with the setting of the sun.
We have a small chance of a shower tomorrow and better chances coming Monday into Tuesday.

On satellite this morning we see clear skies over us. Clear skies will continue today, but a cold front is coming down from the north. This will give us a few more clouds tomorrow and maybe a 20 percent chance of a shower. Another stronger front is expected Monday into Tuesday which will give us better chances of rain after a dry weekend.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Winds will be light and variable today and seas 1-2 feet. They will turn back to the east tomorrow at 10 mph and seas 2 feet. Friday into Saturday morning we will be a bit windier at 12-17 mph with Friday seas 2-3 feet and 3-4 feet Saturday morning. Saturday midday and afternoon winds look calmer, but overnight into Sunday morning they get back to 12-17 mph and seas 3 feet. Monday and Tuesday winds turn to the west/northwest with the cold front and there is some disagreement about how strong they will be.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Indira Brooks in Sandy Bay. We won’t see this many clouds until Thursday morning when we might catch a morning shower.

Skies over our islands are almost completely clear. This is a satellite we see during dry season. During rainy season, we usually have morning clouds and often some morning showers. Those morning showers go away during dry season, but we have a small system coming Thursday morning that may bring us a morning shower. After that we should be dry through the weekend. We are still looking for a system to come in on Monday. The US GFS is less positive about rain Monday, while the Euro and ICON are still predicting rain for Monday.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day a little windier than we have been, with east/southeast winds at 15 mph but seas still only 2 feet. We should see winds build a little until the get to around 20 mph as night falls and 3 foot seas. Winds become very light and variable and seas 1-2 feet. Friday we get windy again with east winds 15-20 mph and the weekend calms down.

This forecast is great for sea excursions and there isn’t a better one out there than Jolly Roger Roatan. They guarantee and safe, fun experience and will get you on the ship on time.

Low tide is 7:15 p.m. Have a great Tuesday!

We are putting 2.79 inches in the books for the month. That is the total for Sandy Bay, and for consistency it is important to use the same location. Just under three inches was average on the west side, but the east side got more rain last month, right around 5 inches in most areas. Utila also picked up 5 inches. East side and Utila had an average February for rain, while the west side had below average.

Looking ahead to March, we really start getting in to the dry season with an average of only 3.42 inches. We still have hopes for a storm system around the 10th and after that, a few morning showers, so I’m hopeful we have an average March. Last year March began what was a really bad drought with only .03 of an inch. I definitely think we will do better than that this year.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Mary Beth Adams and she calls it “Flying Home.” Our photo winner for March wins a $50 voucher to The Lounge Roatan.

Apologies to yesterday’s contestant: Daniel Ebanks, who sent his photo from the Cayos Moskitos off the Mosquito Coast of Honduras and Nicaragua where I hear there is some good lobstering. Things are quiet today, but we’re still watching a potential system for the 10th.

On satellite this morning we have a few high clouds, the kind that don’t have rain. We look mostly sunny into the first part of next week. There is the possibility of some more clouds toward Wednesday and Thursday and maybe a very small chance of a morning shower, but we look mostly dry in the short-term forecast.

In the Euro forecast we can see two cold fronts coming down out of North America. The one coming Wednesday looks like it will push east of us and only bring us a few clouds. The forecast models are still looking at March 10-11 for a front that could bring us some rain. This might still fall apart, as this time of year cold front tend not to make it this far south, but we will still keep an eye on it.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: Winds are still quite calm at 5 mph from the east and seas 1-2 feet. We will stay pretty calm this week. Tuesday night into Wednesday morning we will see a bit stronger winds 15-20 mph followed by a Wednesday with calmer winds, but from the west. They turn back to the east Thursday, but still fairly calm.

We are about to enjoy some picture perfect days for grilling, and if you grill, you know there is no better source for your meat that Carniceria Rosita in French Harbour and Coxen Hole.

Lowest tide is 4:45 p.m. and our crescent moon starts to grow.
Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Carrie Welcome in Coxen Hole. I love how she captured the thin, cirrus clouds. We do not have cirrus clouds today. We have rain clouds from a cold front bringing us morning showers.

On satellite at 9 a.m. we can clearly see the outline of the cold front coming over us. It will bring us mostly cloudy skies today and rain, especially this morning. Rain will be less likely this afternoon. We should notice cool temperatures in the low 70s (22C) tonight and tomorrow morning. Tomorrow and Thursday should be dry before another chance of rain comes in for Friday morning and Friday night. Right now the weekend and next week look dry.

Here are rain totals since midnight.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: This morning we have north/northwest winds around 10 mph and seas near 2 feet northside. Those should get a little stronger midday and afternoon to around 15 mph and 3 feet. Those winds calm down to 5-10 mph from the northeast tonight and tomorrow. Thursday winds will be from the east around 15 mph and seas 2 feet. Friday they will turn slightly to the northeast and calm to 10 mph. The weekend looks like a typical 15 mph from the east kind of weekend.

All in all the winds and seas look pretty good for your next trip this week, especially that weekend getaway to visit Guanaja!

Low tides are 2:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. as we move toward new moon phase. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Tracy Norris in Utila. Utila got a spot of rain in a few locations this morning. We will be dealing with perhaps our last cold front of the season tonight and tomorrow.

On satellite we can see a few showers lingering over Utila. They are very slowly moving west and most of us should be dry today. But tonight into tomorrow morning we will see clouds and showers increase as a small cold front moves in. Tonight and tomorrow should be the best chance of rain in the week ahead, but we will have chances of morning showers Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with east winds 10-15 mph but those winds should calm and we should have light and variable winds midday and afternoon with seas around 2 feet. Tomorrow we will get north winds 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet northside. Winds turn back to the east Wednesday, but only 5-10 mph and seas around 2 feet. Thursday they pick up to 10-15 mph from the east before calming a bit again on Friday. Not a bad wind and wave week after we get past tomorrow.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Yoel Mendez in Los Fuertes.
We have scattered showers across our islands this morning. Those should decrease as the day goes on.
By the way, we are still looking for advice on a good weather station that doesn’t require batteries in the external unit if anyone knows of a station like that. Thanks in advance.

We have some clouds passing over the islands bringing some showers here and there this morning. Most of us have gotten between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. Our rain chances will continue this morning, but the midday and afternoon look dry. Overnight doesn’t look rainy, but there will be a small chance of a morning shower with most of Monday being dry. Tuesday we have a small cold front coming, perhaps the last one of the season, that will bring scattered showers. Wednesday and Thursday should be mostly dry then Friday we will have another decent chance of rain.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: This morning we have east winds 10-15 mph and seas still around 3 feet. We should see those winds calm to 7-12 mph this afternoon and seas 2-3 feet. Tomorrow will be quite calm with light and variable winds and seas 2 feet. Tuesday winds turn to the north around 10 mph and seas 2-3 feet. Wednesday and Thursday winds will be from the east around 10 mph and, perhaps for one last time this season, they turn from the north around 10 mph on Friday.

Low tides are noon and midnight. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Theresa Nelson in Johnson Bight. We can get more rainbows today if we can get enough sunshine.

We have quite a bit of clouds this morning and scattered showers around. It hasn’t amounted to much for most of us, just a few hundredths of an inch, though Punta Blanca and Politilly have gotten around a quarter of an inch. We will have rain chances throughout today, tonight and tomorrow, but it won’t be washout, just periods of showers. Sunday morning has a chance of showers, but most of the day Sunday should be dry. Drier weather continues into Monday, but scattered showers return for Tuesday.

Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: This morning we have east/northeast winds 10-15 mph and 3 foot seas. We will stay around there today with one more night of 15-20 mph northeast winds. Tomorrow the northeast winds calm to 10 mph and seas 2-3 feet. Starting Sunday and into next week we will have light and variable winds and seas 1-2 feet. All in all a great week to be out to sea.

I wanted to take a moment to ask if any of you have had a good experience with a weather station that is all-solar energy. The reason I ask is many of us mount the exterior weather station on a roof, making it difficult to change the batteries. If you know of a good solution, please email me at bookmybio@gmail.com.

Just a reminder that the winner of this month’s photo contest wins a $100 gift certificate to Prime 504 resto & bar. Send photos to bookmybio@gmail.com with name and location! You’d be surprised how many photos I get without name and/or location.

Lowest tides are 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. Have a great Friday!
