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. Synopsis...Fresh to strong trades in the S central Caribbean will diminish modestly through Sun as the central Atlantic ridge shifts NE. A 1012 mb low pressure near 15N59W will weaken to a trough this afternoon across the Lesser Antilles. The trough will move into the E Caribbean tonight through Sat night and weaken as it moves across the central Caribbean Sun into Mon.
2. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time.
3. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) has increased slightly in area and density.
