On Ambergris Caye this morning the sun is loosing it's battle to shine through our heavy overcast sky. The sea is calm and the breeze is NNW at 6 mph. Our expected high is 82f. Fog and dew are unusual features of Ambergris weather.
That was the widest band of color I have ever seen. It only showed a short way into the sky before it was covered by black clouds but it was beautiful. Thanks for the picture, Elbert. I had too many palm fronds between me and the sea to get a decent picture - but I have it in my mind.
