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

The broad area of low pressure, 96L, associated with a tropical wave is now over water, off western Africa. Environmental conditions appear less conducive for development. The system has a medium chance...40 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located about 450 miles east of the Lesser Antilles remains disorganized. Upper-level winds are not favorable for development but conditions could become a little more conducive for some development when the wave reaches the Western Caribbean Sea in 4 or 5 days.. This system has a low chance...0 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a low chance...10 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days.

All interests here should monitor these systems for further development.

The SAL, has decreased in area and density. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
