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.

Today, skies will be mostly cloudy with intermittent scattered showers. Seas will be calm at 1 to 3 feet. Winds will be strong and N to NNE in direction at 20 mph to 25 mph.

This morning a relatively stationary, dissipating cold front reaches from central Cuba to NE Honduras. A second stronger cold front is rapidly approaching and will overtake and absorb the remnants of the first front. It will reach from the Windward Passage to NE Nicaragua later today then stall and transition to a shear line over the west-central Caribbean tonight. (See Figs. 3 & 4)

A weaker cold front will reach the NW Gulf of Mexico Tuesday. It will stall and dissipate over northern waters Wednesday.

The air temperatures will range from the mid 70s (ºF) to the low 80s (ºF) or 21ºC to 26ºC. With wind chill, it will feel like the mid 60s F, especially when exiting the water.

Ocean water temperatures are 78 to 79ºF or 25 to 26ºC. Visibility is generally 20 to 80 feet.
