How to use this page:
The title of each of the figures below is linked to the page where the information originates.
Since I write and post early in the day and generally do not update the page until the next morning; by clicking on the link, it allows you, the viewer, to get the latest information.
This is not only convenient but allows you to track weather events such as cold fronts and hurricanes from a single web page.
In addition, in the right column are two very useful widgets. The first is a tropical weather tracker which shows you the location and forecast track of active tropical storm systems.
The second is a trip planner...yesteryear's weather at a glance.This widget lets you check historic weather for your trip dates.


Monday September 10, 2012
Skies will be mostly sunny, with mid to high level clouds. Seas will be choppy to rough at 2 to 4 feet. Winds will be moderate from ESE at 10 to 15 mph during the day. Increasing to 20 to 25 mph from the ENE to E, this afternoon and evening.
The first cold front of the season moved off the Texas coast yesterday. It is forecast to stall out and dissipate in the mid Gulf of Mexico in the next day or so. As a result, expect the winds and seas to moderate, beginning on Wednesday. The chances of rain and cloudiness will increase as the front drifts south and dissipates.
The air temperatures will range from the low 80s (ºF) to the low 90s (ºF) or 26ºC to 32ºC.
Ocean water temperatures are 82 to 83ºF or 26 to 27ºC. Visibility is generally 20 to 80 feet.
