Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Greg Garker and was taken in West End. I think we’re done with rainbows for this week. A norther is in the forecast for late weekend early next week. Don’t forget to submit your photos for a chance at $50 in Carniceria Rosita meat. We already have a sponsor for our February contest. We will reveal that on Jan. 31 as well.

Rain forecast: We have a very few “popcorn” clouds around this morning. It is not impossible that someone could see a light shower, but it is very unlikely all week to see rain. We have a possible norther coming up Sunday evening into Monday, so that is our next good chance of soaking rain like we saw this past weekend.

Wind forecast: You would think it was April with these strong trade winds. Winds will be from the east 15-25 mph and seas 4-6 feet, especially on the south side. It will be a little better in the mornings and a little windier in the evenings. Utila will have some calmer mornings, with seas 2-3 feet. These winds will stick with us until Saturday. There’s a chance we get some strong north winds with the norther Sunday into Monday.

If you’re coming on a cruise and you’re worried about the winds, choose the Jolly Roger Roatan for your excursion. They know how to find the calm spots.

Low tides are 2 p.m and 2 a.m. Hav ea great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Shelly Wood at Big Gully Beach in Guanaja, with Michael Rock on the left and Roatan in the distance. I love photos from various spots on our islands. Don’t forget the five photos with the most FB likes compete Jan. 31 for $50 in Carniceria Rosita meat!

Guanaja has stayed dry as of 8 a.m. this morning but many of us have caught a morning shower.

Rain forecast: At 8:20 a.m. we have a line of clouds bringing some showers to Roatan, but there are blue skies around. After a chance of rain this morning we should clear out this afternoon and the week ahead looks dry.

Wind forecast: We wake up to east winds around 20 mph and seas 4-5 feet. Those winds and seas will stay with us through the week, sometimes getting up to 6 feet, especially on the south side. Be careful out there on the seas.

If all this rain is making your “good boy” hungry, there’s no healthier, environmentally friendly, and tasty way to satisfy him than to get some food from roatanpets.com. Check them out.

Low tides are 1:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. Have a great week!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Daniela Ciatto on West End Road. We may see a few more rainbows today because you need sun to get rainbows, something we didn’t get much of yesterday and we will get more of today. Don’t forget we vote Jan. 31 for $50 in Carniceria Rosita meat on the photo of the month. Send photos to bookmybio@gmail.com or to my Whatsapp +50494754406.

On radar we can see that most of the rain is to our north and west, moving away from us.

Here’s the rainfall since yesterday until 6:30 a.m. today. most of us are in the 2 inch range, though Pristine Bay got over 4 inches.

Rain forecast: We can see some clear skies moving in from the southeast. We will have partly cloudy skies today but we will continue to have a chance of showers today, through tonight and into tomorrow morning. After that, we dry out for the week ahead.

Wind and wave forecast: We start out the day with east winds around 10 mph and seas around 3 feet. Winds and seas will stay in that area until we get into this evening, when they pick up to 20 mph and seas to 5 feet. Getting into next week, we will be quite windy, with east winds 20-25 mph and seas 5-6 feet.

Don’t forget, Sunday supper at Ikigai by Robby Molina means lobster tails from 4 to 9 p.m. Yum!

Low tides are 1 p.m. and 1 a.m. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Stacy Bye and was taken at sunset at Half Moon Bay in West End. Don’t forget the five photos with the highest number of likes on Facebook will be in a poll Jan. 31 to compete for $50 in premium meats at Carniceria Rosita. We should have rain today and tonight.

On the satellite we can see a lot of clouds moving in from the east this morning. These should give us mostly cloudy skies through the weekend and off-and-on rain. The GFS model only wants to give us about half an inch while the Euro and other models say 1.5-2 inches today, tonight and tomorrow. Rain may linger into Monday morning, but starting Monday afternoon we dry out for next week with only isolated showers.

Wind and sea forecast: We start the day with winds from the east/northeast 10-15 mph and seas from the northeast at 3 feet. Winds will calm slightly this afternoon to 10 mph from the northeast and seas to 2 feet. Tomorrow seas will be back to 3-4 with east winds around 10 mph. Starting Sunday night and into next week we will have strong east winds 20-25 mph and seas around 6 feet. Monday and Tuesday seas will be from the northeast, keeping the north side a little choppier. Starting Wednesday seas should be from the east making the north side a little calmer.

Lowest tide is just after midnight. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Bay Islands! Nilda Gonzales from Camp Bay sends our photo of the day looking east toward Picacho, the highest peak on the island. Don’t forget the five photos with the most likes gets into the poll for photo of the month and a $50 gift certificate to Carniceria Rosita. Today will be mostly dry, but as we get into the evening, clouds and rain will build in for the weekend.

Rain forecast: There are popcorn clouds around, so a shower this morning is possible. But the rain chances get better as we get toward nightfall. Over the weekend we will be mostly cloudy and rain will be on-and-off. The best chance for heavy rain is Saturday night into Sunday morning. Rain lingers into Monday morning, but most of next week looks dry.

Winds forecast: We start off with east winds 15-20 mph and seas 3 feet. We should calm a bit to 10-15 mph and seas 2 feet by afternoon, but winds will take a turn to the northeast. Tomorrow winds will be northeast 12-17 and seas 2-3 feet from the northeast. Sunday morning looks pretty calm, but as we get into Sunday afternoon, next week looks very windy, with east winds 20-25 mph and seas 5-6 feet as a giant wind field takes over the Caribbean Sea.

We will have a very low tide at 11:20 p.m. Have a great Friday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Today’s photo of the day comes from Lise Strachan and shows sunset at Politilly Bight. Remember the five most-liked photos in the Facebook group compete for $50 in premium meats at Carniceria Rosita on Jan. 31! There’s rain around.

We’ve actually had a little bit of rain on all three islands this morning. I’m really excited to make the first rain report for Guanaja. Us here on Jonesville Point and West Bay got a quarter of an inch early this morning.

On radar we can see this morning’s showers drifting east toward Utila. Utila has the best shot of rain before 10 a.m.

But there’s definitely more to come. This rain to our east is also moving west and should reach us by midday or early afternoon. I’d say we have an 80 percent chance of rain today. Rain should diminish overnight and tomorrow there will be a low chance of rain with some lingering showers in the morning. Friday’s best chance of rain is in the evening. We will have good chances of rain over the weekend as a norther moves to our north.

Wind and wave forecast: Winds this morning are from the northwest 5-10 mph and seas at 2 feet. Today will be a mild day on the seas with those wind speeds and wave heights throughout the day. Winds pick up to 12-17 mph from the east tomorrow and seas to 3-4 feet. Friday afternoon winds turn to the northeast but seas stay around 3 feet Friday and Saturday. Starting Sunday into next week we’re looking at strong east winds.

Low tide is around 9:15 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Marcela Z. and shows a lone garza (heron) on the beach at Sandy Bay. I’m pleased to announce that Carniceria Rosita is generously offering a prize of $50 worth of their premium meats to the winner of the Photo of the Month contest. The five photos with the most likes will compete in a poll on Jan. 31.

Rainfall forecast: We will be dry today, but we will finally get a good chance of rain (60%) tomorrow, especially around midday. Most models say about a quarter to half an inch of rain. Rain chances continue into tomorrow night. We should dry out Thursday and Friday but rain returns for the weekend.

Wind and wave forecast: We start the day with east winds at 15 mph and seas at 3 feet, but we should calm a bit to 5-10 mph and 2 feet later this afternoon. Calmer conditions continue into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow evening into Thursday east winds will be 15-20 mph and seas up to 4 feet. Sunday into early next week looks windy from the east.

Don’t forget to get your Roatan Weather Calendar at Hangover Hut and La Sirena for $14 or 350 lemps. If you want to pick up at CC Printing in Coxen or Trico in Jonesville Point, contact me here or at 94754406.

I owe Mitch Cummins and apology for misspelling his name (fortunately he says it is a common mistake). What I didn’t get wrong is how healthy and environmentally friendly his dog food is. 10 percent of proceed goes to ROARoatan.

Low tide is 8 p.m. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Theresa Rath Spicer and was taken at sunrise from Keyhole Bay in West Bay. Our dry weather will continue today and tomorrow before we see a better chance of rain Wednesday. I’m very excited to announce that we will be hosting a photo of the month contest. The five photos with the most likes will compete for photo of the month on January 31! If there’s a photo you like in the month of January, go back and give it a like so that we can put it in the competition. Winner gets a prize from Carniceria Rosita! Yum!

Rain forecast: We will continue to be dry today and tomorrow. Wednesday into Thursday morning we will have a 50/50 chance of rain. After that, it looks like a norther will come close and give us a good chance of rain this weekend, especially Sunday.

Wind forecast: Yesterday was one of the flattest days we’ve had in awhile. It felt like it was September (the month I always promote as the best month to visit Roatan). This morning we have east winds 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet. We will be right around 2-3 feet waves and 15 mph winds for today and tomorrow and not much more than that the rest of the week. It will be a perfect time for tourists to book an excursion at Jolly Roger Roatan.

I don’t often like to talk about temperature but look at the temps this morning at 6:30. The south side was a couple of degrees warmer than the north side. That is common, because the sun is rising out of the waters on the southeast side of the island, giving us a couple of degrees more warmth than the north side. The opposite happens at sunset as us on the south side cool down faster than the sunny north side.

Low tide is 6:44 p.m. We are continuing to have very low tides. Yesterday evening was one of the lowest tides I can remember in awhile. Later today I will be doing a video about two upcoming northers over the next two weekends. Have a great week!

We answer the following questions: Why is it warmer in the morning on the south side? When will we get our next northers? Is there a restaurant on Roatan than can compete with the best restaurants in New York City?

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Bill Reiter at Turtle Crossing on the south side of West Bay and shows the sunrise at first light. The days are slowly starting to get a little longer but right now that is happening by sunsets being a little later in the day. Sunrises will be at 6:17 a.m. from now until Jan. 30. We’re going to start seeing a few clouds around but we’re mostly dry this weekend.

Rainfall forecast: We will start to see a few more clouds than we’ve been seeing and it isn’t impossible that sometime this weekend someone will see an isolated shower. We have a cold front to our north that will fall apart before it gets here, but it will pull in a few more clouds from the east. I’d put the chances at 20 percent, but most of us will stay dry until Wednesday evening/Thursday morning when a weak cold front gives us a 50/50 chance of a shower.

Wind forecast: Winds are relatively light and out of the south/southwest this morning with seas 2-3 feet. We’ll get a nice west breeze today 10-15 mph but the swell is still from the east, which will create some confusion as to wave direction, but we will stay generally around 2 feet today. Tomorrow looks quite calm with light winds and seas around 1 foot. Monday will start out calm but get windier toward evening with east winds picking up 15-20 mph and seas back up to 3 feet.

Extended forecast: Computer models are trying to give us a really good/wet norther Saturday evening (Jan. 20) through Monday (Jan. 22) but that’s a long way off and things can change.

Low tides are 4:40 p.m. and 4:40 a.m. Have a great weekend!
