Dec. 16, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We wake up with winds around 15 mph and seas around 3 feet (1 meter). Those winds and seas should calm through the day to 5-10 mph and 2 foot seas (.6 meters).

Tonight into tomorrow morning the rain chance is very low with winds 10-15 mph on the east side and 5-10 mph on the west side and Utila and seas still around 2 feet.

Tomorrow will again be nice, with southeast winds 7-12 mph and seas at 2 feet.

Sunday we will have about a 30 percent chance of a shower with east winds 10-15 mph.

Sunday night into Monday morning we will have about a 50 percent chance of seeing a shower and Monday looks to be one of our windier days, with 20 mph winds and seas 3-4 feet (1-1.3 meters). We may start feeling the effects of the next norther on next Friday with rain and north winds, though we can’t say right now exactly how strong it will be. Have a great Friday!

Dec. 15, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We wake up to clear skies and winds from the east. Today those winds should calm quite a bit by midday and seas should calm to 2 feet (.6 meters) and perhaps even 1 foot (.3 meters) on the western end of Roatan and in Utila. We have a few clouds to our east which should give us a few clouds, but any rain is unlikely.

Tomorrow we will continue with light and variable winds and seas around 2 feet with dry conditions.

Friday night into Saturday there will be a small chance of rain, but during the day Saturday we should be dry with morning winds and a calmer afternoon.

Saturday night into Sunday morning we will have a little better chance of rain. Rain is likely around the island Sunday night into Monday morning.

You may have heard about the arctic outbreak that is forecast for North America for the holiday weekend. Chances are looking good for that to reach here, giving us norther conditions, with north winds, cool temperatures and rain, possibly right on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, though I’d say the chance of snow is pretty low Have a great Thursday.

Dec. 14, 2022: Good windy Wednesday morning, Roatan! We wake up to 20 mph winds and clear skies.

Today winds should calm a little, especially the further west you go.

I’m including a wind map for midday today and, as you can see, Guanaja will be around 15 mph today while on Roatan winds will be around 10 mph and in Utila winds should be much calmer. Waves should be 2-3 feet for Roatan and 1-2 feet for Utila.

After a windy night and morning tomorrow, winds should calm, especially the further west you go. Thursday and Friday look like beautiful days, with fairly calm winds and seas 1-2 feet for Roatan and Utila. Saturday and Sunday will be a little windier, and scattered showers enter the forecast for Saturday night into Sunday and then again Sunday night through the day Monday. Until then it will be quite dry for December. Have a great Wednesday.

Dec. 13, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Early this morning Sandy Bay picked up a shower that brought a quarter of an inch of rain.

Dec. 12, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Overnight a few locations picked up a small shower, but all rain totals were less than a tenth of an inch.

Dec. 11, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Overnight the west side of the island and Utila got half an inch of rain or a little more, while the east side got about a quarter of an inch or a little less.

On the satellite this morning we see a few clouds and showers, but most of them are to our north and there are fewer than yesterday morning. Still, we will keep a chance of a shower in the forecast through the early part of the morning, but by mid-morning we should be mostly clear and dry. That will continue through the day, with east winds 5-10 mph and seas around 2 feet (.6 meters).

The week ahead looks mostly dry with only a small chance of an early morning shower, especially Tuesday morning.

Winds will start the week fairly calm on Monday with east winds 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet (.3-.6 meters).

Tuesday winds will be 7-12 mph and seas around 1 foot.

Wednesday winds will be 15 mph during the day and 20 mph at night with seas around 4 feet (1.3 meters). They should be calmer toward the end of the week.

Right now most models say the norther will stay to our north and shouldn’t affect us next weekend. Have a great Sunday!

Dec. 10, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Once again we wake up to rain. Overnight many of us got between a quarter and half an inch as of 7 a.m. and there is still rain around. Utila has .61 of an inch since midnight and they were slammed with 3.64 inches yesterday.

Clouds and rain will be scattered this morning, but like yesterday should decrease through the morning and this afternoon should be mostly sunny. Winds start out with a few squalls to around 15 mph pushing seas on the south side to 3-4 feet (1-1.3 meters) but they also should calm as the day goes on to 5 mph this afternoon with seas at 2 feet (.6 meters).

Rain chances return tonight and early tomorrow morning, but again the late morning and afternoon should be mostly sunny. Winds should be fairly calm and seas should be 1-2 feet.

The period Sunday night through Wednesday should be drier. Winds on Monday should be fairly calm, Tuesday they will be back up to around 10-15 mph and Wednesday looks pretty windy, with east winds 20-25 mph.

The models still disagree on whether we will get a norther next weekend. We should know more in the coming days. Have a great weekend!

Dec. 8, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Many of us got a good bit of rain last night. Coral View, French Harbor and here on Jonesville Point we got nearly an inch. Others received lesser amounts, generally between a quarter and half an inch.

The radar this morning at 6:30 shows scattered showers in the Western Caribbean. Today we will have a mix of clouds and sun with scattered showers and winds continuing from the east 12-17 mph and seas at 4 feet (1.3 meters). Rain chances continue tonight but tomorrow, after a few morning showers, should be drier than today.

Friday through Monday the small rain chances will be mostly at night and early in the morning, and winds will be calmer at 5-10 mph and seas down around 2 feet (.6 meters).

We’re still tracking the possibility of a norther the end of next week. The models are not agreeing on how far south it will come. Have a great Thursday!

Dec. 7, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Most of us got rain yesterday morning and for most of us, it amounted to about half an inch. Last night the rain stayed to the south and west of Roatan. Utila picked up a quarter of an inch overnight.

Today looks nice, with mostly sunny skies and winds calming to around 10 mph and seas at 2-3 feet (.6 to 1 meter).

Tonight through Friday morning we have an increased chance of scattered showers. Tomorrow winds will be from the east around 15 mph and seas at 4 feet. Starting Friday into the weekend winds will get much calmer and the seas should calm to around 2 feet (.6 meters). Rain chances will be moderate and mostly overnight through the weekend.

We’re starting to track what could be our next norther in a week and a half. Have a great Wednesday!

Dec. 6, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Most of us got a small shower overnight, with most locations reporting less than a tenth of an inch, enough to get the ground wet, but not much more than that.

There are some low clouds around and we can’t rule out a stray shower today, but we’ll be mostly sunny with east winds 7-12 mph and seas around 3 feet (1 meter).

Tonight we have a good chance of seeing a shower with east winds 15-20 mph and seas at 4 feet (1.3 meters).
Tomorrow will again be mostly sunny with only a small chance of a shower and east winds 10-15 mph and seas at 3 feet.
Wednesday night into Thursday we have a better chance of scattered showers and continued breezy.
Friday we have scattered showers, but winds and seas might get quite calm Friday into Saturday. Have a great Tuesday!
