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.


Friday October 05, 2012
Again today, skies will be partly sunny, with mid to high level clouds. Seas will be calm at 1 to 3 feet. Winds will be light, variable in direction at 5 to 10 mph or less. Winds and seas will remain moderate through the weekend.
There is still a chance of isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, because there is an upper level ridge that is along 25N84W...through the Yucatan Channel...to an upper level anticyclonic circulation center that is near 18N86W in the northwestern corner of the Caribbean sea. This is part of the dying stationary cold front.
The next cold front will reach the north Gulf of Mexico late Saturday.
The air temperatures will range from the low 80s (ºF) to the low 90s (ºF) or 26ºC to 32ºC.
Ocean water temperatures are 83 to 84ºF or 26 to 27ºC. Visibility is generally 20 to 80 feet.
