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 stationary front over the N Gulf of Mexico will dissipate by Sat night. Fresh NE to E winds are expected NW of the Yucatan each night due to local effects.
2. Moderate to fresh trades will prevail across most of the Caribbean area for several days. Winds and seas will increase over the central Caribbean this weekend as strong high pressure moves into the western Atlantic.
