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.

Again today, skies will be mostly sunny. Winds will be mostly ENE in direction at 10 mph to 15 mph during the day; increasing to 15 mph to 25 mph this afternoon and evening. Seas will be choppy to rough at 2 to 4 feet or higher.
Cool, high pressure air will continue to drift in from the north increasing the chances of intermittent rain. Expect winds and seas to increase in strength on Thursday and Friday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.
Divers should exercise caution exiting and entering the boats, especially on the afternoon dives.
The next cold front is now expected to enter the NW Gulf of Mexico by late Thursday and reach from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche Mexico on Friday. Then stall there on Saturday. It is forecast to have strong north winds ahead of and behind it.
Yet another cold front will drift into the northern Gulf of Mexico late Saturday into Sunday.
The air temperatures will range from the low 70s (ºF) to the low 80s (ºF) or 24ºC to 26ºC.
