Friday August 12, 2011
Again today, weather conditions continue to basically be the same, as earlier in the week. Skies will be mostly sunny, with some mid to high level cloudiness. Winds will be from the ESE, at 15 to 20 mph , this morning; shifting to ENE this afternoon and increasing in strength to 20 to 25 mph. The seas will be moderate to large, at 2 to 4 feet in height or higher, especially after 3:00 pm this afternoon. These weather conditions are still forecast to hold through Tuesday.
The air temperatures will be in the 80s to the mid 90s (F) or 27 to 32 (C). In sunny areas, out of the wind, it will feel like 106F or 41C. At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 82F to 86F or 28C to 30C . Visibility is generally 60 to 80 feet.

Invests 92L and 93L are still of concern to us, because they are both centered south and east of us. These systems are in the vicinity of the southern Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of Africa and about 3000 miles ESE of the Bay Islands. They both have a chance for further development, as they move W - NW at about 10 to 15 mph. This morning, some computer model runs, show that 93L could reach the Central Caribbean Sea next week, ultimately tracking, slightly to the north of us. For 92L, computer model runs, continue to show it passing well to the north of us. All interests in the Bay Islands should monitor these systems as they continue to develop.
