Skies will be partly sunny with mid to high level clouds. Winds will continue to be moderate to light at 5 to 10 mph or less. Seas will be calm at 1 to 3 feet. Early morning and late evening, showers and thunderstorms, are possible, in association, with typical summer afternoon heating. Winds and seas maybe locally higher near squalls. Little change in the winds or convection is expected during the next day or so.
The air temperatures will be in the 80s to the mid 90s (F) or 27 to 32 (C). In the sun, without the east winds, it will feel like 100 degrees plus. 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
At 5am EDT, Irene was still a Cat 1 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 75mph. The center of Hurricane Irene was about 15 miles SSE of Atlantic City, NJ. It is moving NNE at 18mph.
TD 10 has dissipated into 1011 mb low. A new tropical system, designated 92L is located at 10.3 N latitude x 20.5 W longitude. This position is approximately 3900 miles SSE of us. It is moving due W at 10 mph. This system currently has a 30% chance for further development. Until it gets well above 16N latitude, this system bears watching closely.
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 monitor the weather and prepare for future storms.
