March 17, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands. Yesterday was pretty strange. A cloud sat over the area from Jonesville Point to Oakridge for about an hour around noon and rained on us, and almost no one else got any. Coral View got .15 and that was it. Meanwhile we got nearly half an inch. Hope you’re not jealous 😜
This morning we have winds around 10 mph and seas around 2 feet. Those should pick up to around 15 mph and seas to 3 feet this afternoon under mostly sunny skies.
Tomorrow winds and seas will get quite calm again as a cold front approaches from the north. Tomorrow will be dry, but Sunday we will have a small chance of a shower as this cold front again dies out just before it gets here. Our best chance of rain will be Monday, when we will have about a 40 percent chance of rain, but again we will have plenty of sun and any shower we get should be short-lived. Small rain chances stick around through Wednesday and the end of the week into next weekend will be dry and windy. Have a great Friday!

March 16, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands! The rain this morning has been to the west of the big island of Roatan, as shown by the fact that Utila has picked up a third of an inch this morning. These showers are drifting toward the southwest, so the chance of Roatan or Guanaja getting wet is pretty small. We start the day with the sea as flat calm as I’ve seen it in months. Winds and seas will remain calm today. Winds will pick up to 10 mph from the east and seas to 2-3 feet tonight.
Tomorrow will be sunny with winds 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet during the day and 3-4 feet overnight.
Saturday winds will be 5-10 mph and seas 2-3 feet.
Sunday there will be a small chance of a shower in the morning, but the best chance of rain should be Sunday night into Monday morning. Winds will stay fairly calm in the first part of the week and the last part of next week looks windier. Have a great Thursday!

March 15, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! After our morning thundershower, the satellite shows clearing skies moving in from our west. There are also a few clouds coming off the coast near Tela, so we will have partly cloudy skies today and a chance of a scattered shower throughout the day. Winds will be around 10 mph from the west/northwest and will turn to the north overnight around 15 mph. We won’t have the kind of cool air we get in the winter pushing us toward 70, but staying in the low 80s will feel good after a couple of days near 90. Tonight we have another 50/50 chance at rain. Seas will be around 2 feet.

After a cool morning tomorrow and perhaps a shower, skies will clear. Winds tomorrow will be fairly calm, but winds will pick up from the east tomorrow night 15-20 mph and seas to 3 feet. Those conditions last through Friday.

Saturday should be a little calmer and Sunday morning we have another chance of rain. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands! I did a video this morning.

The highlights: We have clouds passing from the west this morning and light winds from the west. Only a very small chance of rain this morning. Tonight and tomorrow night are our best chances for rain, but even then it should be less than an inch for most of us and many of us may get none. Thursday and Friday get a little windier and 3-4 foot seas. Saturday winds and seas calm and Sunday morning we have our next good chance of rain. The difference between this week and last week is that last week we had NO chance of rain and this week we have SOME chance of rain, even if it isn’t a lot. Have a great Tuesday!

March 13, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! This morning we have east winds around 10 mph and seas at 3 feet. They should definitely calm as the day goes on.

We have a cold front entering the Gulf of Mexico as you can see in the maps. Unfortunately as it gets close to us it is going to fall apart.

Still it will bring clouds and a chance of rain between late tomorrow night and Wednesday night.

Today and tomorrow will be mostly sunny and mostly calm, with seas falling to about 2 feet today and tomorrow.
The period between tomorrow night and Wednesday night we will all have partly cloudy skies and about a 50/50 chance of getting wet. This, sadly, won’t be an all-day rain. It will be passing showers with sunshine in between. Winds should be fairly light on Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday should be sunny and a bit windier, with daytime winds around 15 mph and nighttime winds 20-25 mph.
Saturday winds calm again as another cold front nears, giving up partly cloudy skies and another 50/50 shot of rain Sunday. Have a great week!

March 11, 2023: Good morning, Bay Islands! This morning we have 10-15 mph winds and 2 foot seas and the day should get even calmer. Winds this afternoon will be 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet. Overnight winds will pick up to 15 mph and seas 2-3 feet, but will get calm again during the day on Sunday. Sunday night might the the windiest night of the next few days with winds around 20 mph and seas 3-4 feet, but Monday and Tuesday again should be calm. Wednesday is the day we truly hope to see some rain. It isn’t certain that everyone will see rain, but at least everyone will have a chance, and Thursday morning should be a couple of degrees cooler as the cold front passes by. After that there is another front coming Sunday, March 19, but it isn’t certain it will hold together long enough to make it here. Let’s hope. Have a great, dry, calm weekend!

March 10, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! We have hazy skies and 15 mph winds with 2 foot seas this morning. Those conditions will continue today and tomorrow, with little or no chance of even a small shower.
Starting Saturday our daytime winds will become calm, with 10-15 mph winds at night. Starting Saturday afternoon, we may see some seas around 1 foot, so it will be a great time on the water.
Sometime around Wednesday a weak cold front will approach giving us scattered showers. It’s not certain that everyone will get rain, and those who do might not get a whole lot, but after that, Sunday March 19 into Monday looks like another chance of scattered showers. Have a great Friday!

March 9, 2023: Good morning, Roatan! We are back to bright, sunny skies after a couple of days of haze caused by high clouds. Our forecast remains dry until Wednesday, when we have a chance of scattered showers from a cold front that will be weakening when it gets here. Until then, the primary change in our weather is that the winds and seas are going to get quite calm. Today and tomorrow winds should be in the 10-15 mph range and seas 2-3 feet, but starting Saturday winds will be almost dead calm during the day and maybe 15 mph at night. The weekend into the first part of next week looks like a great time to get out on the sea. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning, Bay Islands! There have been a few scattered showers north of Tela and Puerto Cortes, far to the west of Utila.

Over our islands we have lots of high clouds with no rain this morning.

This morning winds are around 15-20 mph from the east and seas are 2 feet (.7 meters). Today will continue to have high clouds and dry conditions. Winds will be 12-17 mph and seas 2 to maybe 3 feet for the rest of the week. There will be a very small chance of a shower tomorrow morning, but otherwise we will be dry. We are still looking for some scattered showers and perhaps a little fresh air Wednesday and Thursday next week. Have a great Wednesday!

We got some rainfall around 4 a.m., especially mid-island. Looks like the far west side missed out.

We will have a cloudy day, but not necessarily a rainy day. Throughout today we will have the high clouds coming from the west. These are not rain clouds, but will bring us hazy, cloudy skies. This morning we will have some low clouds that may bring some of us a shower. Winds will be from the east at 10-15 mph and seas at 2-3 feet. The clouds will keep us a bit cooler today and tomorrow, right around our current reading of 80 degrees.

On the bright side, the computer models are starting to agree that we should get some rain mid to late week next week, and perhaps some cooler temperatures.
