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.

Wednesday, Jan. 08, 2014
Today, skies will be mostly cloudy with intermittent rain. Winds will be WSW in direction at 20 to 30 mph throughout the day. Seas will be choppy to rough at 2 to 4 feet or higher.
This morning, satellite imagery shows that the cold front is stationary from Roatan and the Bay Islands to central Cuba and out into the Atlantic Ocean. Gale force, northerly, winds are behind the front but will diminish in strength today. The front will begin moving NE later today and tomorrow while diminishing in strength.
The next cold front will move off the Texas coast early Saturday quickly reaching from the
Florida Big Bend to the SW Gulf of Mexico Saturday night...pushing SE of the Gulf Sunday.
Divers should exercise caution exiting and entering the boats. With wind chill, it will feel like the mid 60s F, especially when exiting the water.
The air temperatures will range from the high 70s (ºF) to the mid 80s (ºF) or 24ºC to 26ºC.
Ocean water temperatures are 79°F to 82°F or 25ºC to 26ºC. Visibility is 20 to 80 ft.
