Feb. 27, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands! We’ve had some clouds moving out of the southeast over Guanaja bringing a few showers through the morning. It looks like it will stay mostly to the east, but there are a few more clouds on the way, so we will keep the morning partly cloudy with a small chance of a passing shower. Otherwise, today we will see the winds pick up again, especially this evening. At 9 a.m., seas are at 4 feet and winds around 20 mph. By evening we will have winds 25-30 mph and seas 5-6 feet. Tomorrow during the day winds will be back down to 15-20 mph and seas 3-4 feet, but tomorrow night will be windy, with 25-35 mph and seas back up to 6 feet. This will be a windy week, but this weekend we see the winds calming a bit and a chance of a few showers. After that next week looks a bit less windy than this week. Have a great week!

Feb. 26, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands. Winds are fairly calm this morning at 5-10 mph and seas are at 3 feet. We have a few clouds to our east so a light shower is possible this morning, but it shouldn’t be anything major.

Today we will have east winds at 15 mph and seas 3-4 feet. Tonight gets a bit windier at 20-25 mph and seas 4-5 feet. Starting Monday we are back to windy conditions, with daytime winds 17-22 mph and seas around 4 feet and nighttime winds 30-35 mph and seas 5-6 feet. The chance of a shower is very, very small this week and goes up only slightly next weekend. Have a great Sunday!

Feb. 25, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands. Our winds definitely are calmer. This morning they are right around 10 mph and seas are 3-4 feet. There are some clouds to our south, so a morning sprinkle isn’t out of the question, but nothing major. Seas will stay 3-4 feet through the weekend and our winds will be 10-20 mph. Starting Monday the winds and seas get more active and next week looks very windy and wavy, and dry. Have a great weekend!

Feb. 24, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands! We got up to 35 mph winds and 7-8 foot seas last night, but we are down to 22 mph and 4-5 foot seas at 7 a.m. We have a few clouds off to our east. We will stay dry today and we will have a very small chance for a shower tonight. Today and tonight will be windy, with 20-25 mph winds today and 30-35 mph winds tonight.
This weekend will be slightly better with 20 mph winds during the day and 25 mph winds at night and seas around 4 feet.
Starting Monday the 35 mph winds at night return. The next week remains dry and windy. Have a great Friday!

Feb. 23, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands. Another windy night with winds peaking at about 9 p.m. last night at 35 mph. Seas got up to 6 feet, but are down to 4 feet this morning. We have another couple of zinc-pounding windy days and nights before the winds calm down to just being breezy this weekend.
Friday morning, Saturday morning and Sunday morning we will have a few clouds and can’t rule out a shower here or there, but most of us will stay dry.
Seas will be 4-5 feet during the day and 5-6 feet at night today and tomorrow. They will calm to 3-4 feet this weekend.
Next week looks windy as well.
The long-range forecast is trying to give us some rain around March 5, but that is a long way away and things can change. Have a great Thursday!

Feb. 22, 2023

Feb. 22, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! Those winds definitely came back. We are at 30 mph at 7:15 a.m. here on Jonesville Point. Seas are 5-6 feet (1.7 meters). Winds will calm a little this afternoon to 20-25 mph and seas to 4-5 feet. Tonight looks even windier, with winds up to 35 mph and seas 7-8 feet. Thursday and Friday will both be windy and dry except for a slight chance of a shower Friday morning, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Winds are a bit calmer this weekend at around 20 mph even at night. Have a great Wednesday!

Feb. 21, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! We have some clouds passing over us this morning, but we haven’t recorded any rain anywhere on the island. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone got a sprinkle, but we’ll be mostly dry.

We start the day with winds 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet. That is the calmest they will be for awhile. I also noticed we had an unusually low tide yesterday afternoon, a few inches below normal low tide. Looks like we’ll have another one this afternoon.

Tonight winds will be 25-30 mph and seas at 5 feet. Tomorrow winds will be 20-25 mph and seas at 4 feet. Tomorrow night will be quite windy with 30-35 mph winds and seas at 6-7 feet.

Those windy conditions will calm down only slightly this weekend to 20 mph. And for the next two weeks the forecast looks dry. Have a great Tuesday!

Feb. 20, 2023

Good morning Bay Islands! Many of us got a shower last night! We got a quarter of an inch here on Jonesville Point. Utila has over half an inch.

Radar at 7:20 a.m.

At 7:20 a.m. there are still some showers around Utila. Most of the rest of the rain has moved west.

Satellite at 7:20 a.m.

There are scattered clouds around so there will be a small chance of a shower through the morning. After that we should clear out and be mostly sunny for the afternoon. Seas are at 4 feet on the north side this morning and 3 feet on the south side. They should calm to 2-3 feet during the day. Enjoy it. It will be the calmest we get for a while.

Tonight and tomorrow morning should be nice and winds and seas will be moderate. Starting tomorrow night the east winds really start to blow. Winds will be 30-35 mph at night and 20-25 mph during the day most of this coming week, with nighttime seas 5-6 feet (Even higher Wednesday night, which looks like the worst sea night of the week) and 4-5 feet during the day. The forecast is almost completely dry and sunny. Have a great week!

Feb. 19, 2023

Good morning, Bay Islands! Many of us got a small shower just after midnight. Sandy Bay got the most rain with about a quarter inch. We got .12 of an inch here on Jonesville Point. Most of us picked up a shower midday yesterday for up to a third of an inch.

Satellite image at 7:15 a.m.

Most of the thick clouds have moved to our west. We have a few clouds to our east, so we can’t say it will be totally dry today. There will be a small chance of a scattered shower through today, but we will be mostly sunny. Winds have turned slightly to the northeast, so the waves on the north side are about 3.5 feet this morning, 3 feet on the southside. We will continue to see winds from the east/northeast at 15 mph and seas around 3 feet.

Tonight into tomorrow morning we have another chance of a shower. Winds tomorrow will be from the east/northeast at 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet. Tomorrow night there is a smaller chance of a shower, perhaps 20 percent. Tuesday will be nice, but Tuesday night those 30 mph east winds return. Things turn dry. Have a great Sunday!

Feb. 18, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Utila got .08 of an inch early this morning.

What a difference a day makes! Winds were much calmer last night than they have been in recent nights.

There are quite a bit of clouds to our east. They should move our way in an hour or two and may bring a scattered shower through the mid-morning.

This afternoon should be mostly sunny. There is another 40 percent chance of a shower tonight into tomorrow morning and a 20 percent chance Sunday night into Monday morning. After that the forecast is very dry. Winds will remain 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet through Tuesday morning. Starting Tuesday night we get the strong east winds back. Have a great weekend!
