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

TD 2 is now TS Barry and near Vera Cruz, Mexico. The two tropical waves in the Atlantic will begin to affect the weather in the Caribbean Sea beginning tonight. Neither are showing signs of significant development. The SAL continues to cover most of the Atlantic. It is slightly smaller then it was earlier this week.

Else where, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours.
