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

Tropical wave, 95L became a TD6 yesterday afternoon. It was upgraded to TS Fernand around 7 pm last night. It has gone ashore on the Mexican coast and is expected to dissipate in the next 24 to 48 hours. It is of no danger to us.

A tropical wave along 74W will move W across the SW Caribbean tonight through Tuesday and into Central America Tuesday night. The next tropical wave will enter tropical N Atlantic waters late Wednesday afternoon and move into the E Caribbean Thursday.

The SAL has again increased slightly in density and decreased a small amount in area. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
