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
Invest 99L is now TS Sandy and moving slowly N-NE. This morning, it was located about 560 miles ESE of us. Maximum sustained winds were 45 mph. The barometric pressure has fallen to 1003mb.  There  is better consensus among computers model that this system will continue to track north. It is expected to become a hurricane later today.
Interests in the Bay Islands and on the north coast of Honduras should continue to monitor this system.
