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
92L has crossed the Yucatan Peninsula and entered the Gulf of Mexico. It has a 50% chance for further development in the the next 48 hours.
A tropical wave along 62W S of 21N will move across across the eastern Caribbean through tonight...then across the central Caribbean Saturday before it becomes diffuse over the Western Caribbean on Sunday. The next tropical wave will reach the tropical N Atlantic Saturday.
Early this morning, tropical storm Erin was centered at 16.3N by 30.5W. It is of no immediate danger to the Bay Islands and the north coast of Honduras but interests here should monitor this storm as it tracks WNW across the Atlantic Ocean
The SAL has increased slightly in both size and density.
