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 surface trough will develop each evening from the Yucatan Peninsula to western Cuba. It will shift WNW into the SW Gulf of Mexico during the evening hours... resulting in enhanced winds and seas.
2. Fresh to strong trades will prevail across much of the Caribbean today...then expand westward to Gulf of Honduras tonight through Wed as strong high pressure sinks S into the W Central Atlantic.
3. TS Ana was 25 km NW of  Myrtle Beach, SC and weakening. It is now a tropical depression.
