For Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2010
 
Today, it will be mostly cloudy with a chance of rain and thunderstorms. 
Winds will continue to be strong, from the NW to W: ranging in strength from 
10 to 20 mph. Waves will be 1 to 4 feet in height. 
Both wind and seas can be higher locally, particularly on the north side.
Paula will dominate our weather at least through Saturday; first as hurricane,
 than as a tropical storm. Early this morning it was centered about 125 miles 
NNE of us. It has maximum winds of 75 mph. 
The central pressure is 992 millibars.  It is moving NW at 10 mph.
Paula is expected to strengthen today and continue NW toward Cozumel. 
By Thursday, it is predicted to start turning east towards Cuba and begin 
to diminish in strength. On Friday and Saturday, it will turn to the south back 
towards us. What track it will follow, is unclear at this point. Confidence in 
the forecast from Saturday forward is low. It most likely will remain in the 
NW Caribbean Sea through the weekend and early part of next week.
Another tropical wave will reach this area by Wednesday.
All interests in the Bay Islands should monitor the progress 
of this system for further development.

to the low 80s or 24 to 25 (C).

At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 85F to 87F or 29C to 30C.
Surface temperatures are lower and vary greatly due to the heavy rainfall
which has occurred recently.
