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 are two very useful widgets. The first is a tropical weather tracker which shows you the location and forecast track of active tropical storm systems.
The second is a trip planner...yesteryear's weather at a glance.This widget lets you check historic weather for your trip dates.

TS Nadine is heading for the Azores.
A poorly organized, tropical wave  is moving west at 15 mph through the Eastern Caribbean Sea. Computer models do not show this system developing.
A cold front, moving across Texas into the Gulf of Mexico, will extend from northern Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula by tomorrow.
