Monday August 22, 2011
Today's weather is essentially a repeat of yesterday's. Skies will be mostly sunny with mid to high level clouds. There is a very slight chance for intermittent, rain and thunderstorms, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. Winds will continue to be moderate at 10 to 15 mph from ESE in the morning; shifting ENE in the afternoon. Seas will be choppy at 2 to 4 feet. Expect the wind to increase and seas to build after 3pm in the afternoon. Divers should exercise caution when boarding the boats, especially when returning on the afternoon dives.
The air temperatures will be in the 80s to the mid 90s (F) or 27 to 32 (C). With the heat index, in the sun, out of the wind,it will feel like 104F or 40C. At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 82F to 86F or 28C to 30C . Visibility is generally 60 to 80 feet.
The Tropical Weather Outlook
TD Harvey is over SE Mexico and is expected to dissipate in the next 12 to 24 hours. Hurricane Irene is headed away from Puerto Rico. Invest 98L is NW of the Cape Verde islands and has a 10% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 24 to 48 hours. (FYI: Invests are weather areas of interest to meteorologists). None of these systems currently pose a threat to us. However, since we are approaching the peak (Sept 10) of the hurricane season, all interests in the Bay Islands and on the north coast of Honduras should continue, to closely monitor the weather and prepare for future storms.
