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 is a very useful widget. It is a trip planner...yesteryear's weather at a glance.This widget lets you check historic weather for your trip dates.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
A tropical wave in the Caribbean extends from 22N77W across Cuba to the coast of Panama near 10N78W moving W near 20 kt. This wave is in an area of light moisture as depicted on the total precipitable water imagery. See Fig 10. It will move across the W Caribbean Friday. A trough along 69W will dissipate in the central Caribbean today. The next tropical wave will approach the tropical N Atlantic early next week.  See Figs 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Overnight, the SAL has changed slightly in terms of area covered and density. See Figs 9 and 9a.
There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time and tropical cyclone formation is not expected in the next 24 to 48 hours.
