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
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A cold front over the SE Gulf of Mexico will reach the Straits of Florida today; where it will stall and slowly dissipate by Sat. A reinforcing front over the northern waters will become diffuse today. High pressure will build in the wake of this front.
2. Moderate to fresh trade winds will prevail over much of the Caribbean for the forecast period.
3. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) is exceptionally intense today. See Figs. 18, 19 and 20 above.
