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.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located about 750 miles east of the Windward Islands have increased in coverage during the last several hours but remain disorganized. Any development of this disturbance during the next couple of the days should be slow to occur due to strong upper-level westerly winds. This system has a low chance...20 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves west-northwestward or northwestward at about 15 mph. It has been designated Invest 98L.
