Good morning Bay Islands. We wake up to clear skies and moderate winds around 15 mph, with seas around 2 feet.
This evening we are expecting increasing clouds and scattered showers between sunset and midnight as a small area of moisture moves over.
Tomorrow should be dry, but windy. Winds will be from the east 17-22 mph with seas 4 feet during the day and gusting to 30 mph and seas 5-6 feet Sunday night. Starting Monday we will have better chances of scattered showers, about 30 percent most days, and east winds 15-20 mph with seas 3-4 feet. Low tide is 2 p.m. Have a great weekend!

August 11, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. While the Atlantic and Caribbean have been quiet this year, the eastern Pacific has been quite busy. There is a storm on the Pacific coast of Panama that is expected to form into a tropical storm, perhaps as early as Sunday or Monday.

That won’t affect us directly, but it could be part of the reason we should have gusty winds on Monday, as easterly winds feed into the storm on the north side.
Today through Saturday looks mostly dry and sunny, with east winds about where they are now, 12-17 mph from the east and 2-3 foot seas. Saturday night into Sunday morning we have a decent chance of a shower, I’d say around 40 percent. Monday east winds will be 20-25 mph and seas 4 feet during the day and up to 30 or 35 mph and seas 5-6 feet Monday night. Starting Tuesday winds will be around 20 mph and seas around 4 feet. Next week will have higher rain chances, 30 to 40 percent each day throughout the week. Have a great Friday.

August 10, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Overnight the tropical wave we’ve been watching dissapeared, meaning that our chances for rain on Sunday just went down.
This morning we have clear skies in our part of the Caribbean, east winds around 15 mph and seas around 2 feet.
Those winds at 12-17 mph and seas 2-3 feet will continue through Saturday. Sunday still looks quite a bit windier, with east winds 20-25 mph and gusting up to 30 mph by evening. Next week looks windier than this week, as well.
We will be mostly dry through Saturday with only the slightest chance of an overnight or early morning shower.
Sunday the chances go up to around 30 percent for seeing a scattered shower, and those 30-40 percent chances last into next week. Low tide is 11:45 a.m. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Skies are quite clear in our part of the Caribbean this morning. Today will be mostly sunny.
Winds are continuing around 15 mph out of the east and seas at 2-3 feet as they have been for about the past week. Those moderate winds and seas should last until Sunday, when we expect windier conditions, especially in the evening.
Tonight we should have another 30 percent chance of rain, but tomorrow looks mostly sunny again. We will have mostly sunny days and small chances of rain overnight and in the early morning through Saturday.
Sunday our weather should change, with windier conditions and a better chance of rain.

That is because of a tropical wave right now over St. Vincent and Grenada in the Windward Islands. It is forecast to move in our direction, but it will just be an unorganized group of showers and storms. It will give us better chances of rain Sunday and Monday. Low tide is around 11 a.m. Have a great Wednesday!

Aug. 8, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. At 7:30 a.m. we have some clouds and showers centered south of Roatan, bringing some showers to some locations. We’ve gotten .02 of an inch on Jonesville Point.

We’re fortunate to catch these showers because most of the area around us is dry and we should be mostly sunny today and dry. I think tonight the chance of rain is much smaller than it has been the past few nights and early mornings.
Wednesday night we go back to these scattered late night and early morning showers and that cycle of early scattered showers and dry days should continue into the weekend. We’re still watching a tropical wave that may give us a rainier Sunday and Monday.
Winds are from the east around 15 mph and seas at 2 feet. We should continue to have winds 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet during the day and 15-20 mph and seas at 3 feet during the evening.
Low tide is 9:40 a.m. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. We have scattered thundershowers around the island at 7 a.m.

Some locations got up to half an inch from a shower that passed over the island yesterday about 4 p.m.

Here is this morning’s rainfall.

We will be dealing with scattered showers through the morning hours, but clouds will decrease as we get to the afternoon. This evening will be breezy, with east winds 20-25 mph and seas 3-4 feet. (1-1.3 meters). There will be another chance of showers overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Tuesday and Wednesday look mostly sunny and mostly dry with east winds 15-20 mph and seas 2-3 feet.
The US model still predicts tropical moisture to come this way next Sunday and Monday while other models push it north of us. Low tide is 8:15 a.m. Have a great week!

Lowest tide doesn’t come until around 7 a.m. tomorrow.

Yesterday I pointed out the tropical wave with the red arrow. There is another tropical wave behind it coming off the coast of Africa (green arrow). Both of them look weaker than they did yesterday due to dry air in the upper atmosphere in the Atlantic. We’ll continue to keep an eye on them. Have a great weekend.

Good morning, Bay Islands. Many locations mid-island and west got between a tenth and a quarter inch right around midnight last night. Utila picked up about a tenth of an inch around 8 p.m. yesterday. As you can see in this morning’s satellite, most of the rain is well to our west.
Winds this morning are from the east 5-12 mph and seas at 2 feet. Today we’ll have winds 10-15 mph with seas at 2 feet, and tonight they will be gusty up to 25 mph and seas 3-4 feet.
This weekend and early next week winds should stay around 15 mph and seas around 2 feet.
It looks like this weekend will be dry and sunny, with only slight chances of overnight showers.

Low tides are 5 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Have a great Friday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Some of us saw some showers early this morning.

Most of the rain is north of us, but it is possible some clouds might give us a little shower during the morning. The computers are really wanting to give us a good chance of a shower this afternoon, and especially this evening as we get toward sunset. After that Friday and the weekend look dry and sunny. The small rain chances are mostly overnight and early morning. East winds are very mild at 12-17 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters). Low tides are 4 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Have a great Thursday!

This morning, there’s quite a bit of rain off the Mosquito Coast, but it doesn’t seem to be moving very quickly anywhere. We should stay mostly dry today, with about a 20 percent chance of a shower.
