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 along 74W will move W through the western NW Caribbean this weekend. Low pressure, associated with Invest 97L located near 16N65W this morning, will move NW to eastern Hispaniola on Thursday with the possibility of tropical cyclone formation. A second tropical wave along 58W will enter the E Caribbean tonight and continue W through the E Caribbean Thursday and Friday...then pass through the central Caribbean this weekend.

Shower activity associated with a tropical wave, 97L appears better organized. This system has a medium chance...40 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a high chance 60 percent ...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days. This system is located about 1400 miles E of Roatan. This morning it was centered at 15.8N, 64.8W. It is moving WNW at 10 to 12 mph.

All interests here should monitor these systems for further development, especially 97L.

The SAL, has again decreased in area and density is relatively constant. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
