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

The NHC has issued the last advisory on post-tropical cyclone Barry...located inland over southern Mexico.

A tropical wave in the central Caribbean will reach the NW Caribbean tonight...then move west of the area Sunday. A second tropical wave will reach the tropical N Atlantic waters this weekend and enter the eastern Caribbean by early next week.

The SAL has receded slightly (see Fig. 9 above ).

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