For Friday, Oct. 08, 2010

Today's weather is a replay of yesterday's weather.

Expect the weather conditions to remain unchanged for the next 24 to 48 hours. 

Again, there will be some sun with periods of rain. 

Winds will continue to be strong and from the N to NE: ranging in strength from 

5 to 20 mph or higher. Waves will be 1 to 4 feet in height or higher. 

A surface low has formed near 14N x 79W or about 525 miles ESE of us.

It is expected to remain nearly stationary for the next few days. The NHC is giving 

this system a 20% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours.

All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras

should monitor the progress of this system for further development.

Elsewhere in the tropics

Tropical storm Otto remains in the Atlantic. It does not pose a threat to us. 

Other tropical cyclone formation is not expected in the next 24 hours.

The air temperatures will be in the 70s (F) or 23 to 24 (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.
