This
morning, the center of the tropical wave was just to the east of us.
Again, skies will be partly sunny with a very slight chance of
intermittent rain and thunderstorms; especially early in the morning
or late at night.

Winds will be easterly at 12 mph to 20 mph. Wind
and seas will strengthen, beginning around 3pm, this afternoon. Seas
will be choppy and 2 to 4 feet in height. Expect these wind and sea
conditions through Monday. Divers should exercise caution re-boarding
the boats, especially 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, at times, it may feel like 100 plus
degrees. Everyone, especially, divers should be well hydrated.
At

The
Tropical Weather Outlook
Two
areas of low pressure are located in the far Atlantic Ocean. These
invests have been designated 97L and 98L by the NHC. Some slow
development of both systems is possible, during the next couple of
days, as they move westward. 97 L has a 10 percent chance and 98L has
a 20% percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclones during the next
48 hours.
Neither
of these systems currently pose a threat to us. However, since they
both are centered , well below 16N latitude, all interests in the Bay
Islands and on the north coast of Honduras should monitor them, until
it is certain that these systems will not enter the Western Caribbean
Sea..
Else
where, tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 48
hours.
