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 hurricane from a single web page.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
This morning, the remnants of TD7, are over the extreme southwestern Gulf of Mexico. It now has a 40% chance of strengthening as it moves WNW at 10 mph. A hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this afternoon.
TS Gordon is near hurricane strength in the mid – Atlantic. It is headed E towards the Azores.
Invest 94L, a large tropical wave emerged from the coast of Africa yesterday, and is predicted to develop into a tropical depression in 3 - 4 days. Preliminary indications are that this new storm will follow a path similar to TS Gordon's, but it is too early to be highly confident of this.

Else where, tropical storm formation is not expected today.
