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.

Again today, skies will be mostly sunny. Seas will be calm at 1 to 3 feet. Winds will be light and variable in direction at 5 mph to 10 mph during the day. Increasing to 20 mph to 30 mph from the north this evening.

A vigorous cold front extending from Mobile, Alabama to Corpus Christi, Texas will rapidly dive southward across the Gulf of Mexico this morning...reaching from S Florida to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico this afternoon. Fresh to near-gale force north winds are expected N of the front. This cold front will stretch from central Cuba to southern Belize this evening and from the Windward Passage to Nicaragua Sunday morning. It will then stall and become diffuse Sunday evening. Expect increasing cloudiness, strong north winds and rain with the passage of this front.

A weaker cold front will reach the NW Gulf of Mexico Tuesday.
