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 is a very useful widget. It 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

A tropical wave near 83W will weaken as it continues W...slowing down as it moves over Central America and the NW Caribbean through tonight. Another tropical wave extending from the Anegada Passage to near 10N66W will shift W across the E Caribbean through tonight...central Caribbean Monday...and through the W Caribbean Tuesday and Wednesday. A third tropical wave will approach the tropical N Atlantic zones Thursday. The probability, of any of these systems to develop into tropical storms is low.

The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) appears to have increased slightly in both size and intensity.

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