Tuesday June 07, 2011

Today, skies will be partly cloudy. Winds will be light and variable at 5 to 15 mph or less. They will be W to NW in direction. The seas will be 1 to 3 feet in height. Intermittent, morning squalls will continue, with some gradual clearing later today. This weather pattern, will continue for the remainder of this week, due to the low pressure system 94L.

The air temperatures will be in the 80s to low 90s (F) or 27 to 30 (C).
At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 82F to 84F or 28C to 29C . Visibility is generally 60 to 80 feet.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

This morning, the center of the 1007 mb low pressure system, 94L, was located near 18.1N by 81.7.W. This position is about 350 miles ENE of us. It continues to move slowly NW at 5 knots, with maximum sustained winds of 25 mph.

There now is a 30% chance of this system becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours. Conditions are less favorable for further development. Again today, Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate 94L this afternoon. The flights have been canceled, the last two days.

All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should continue to monitor the progress of this system as it develops.
