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 located over western Africa is moving westward at 10 to 15 mph...and an area of low pressure could form after the wave moves off the coast on Friday. Some development of this system is

possible before upper-level winds become unfavorable by early next week. This system has a low chance...10 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a medium chance...30 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days while it moves near the Cape Verde Islands.

Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located about 1300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles remains limited. Some slow development is possible during the next couple of days while the wave moves westward at about 15 mph and approaches the Lesser Antilles. After that time...upper-level winds could inhibit further development. This system has a low chance...near 0 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...and a low chance...20 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days.

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