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 weak low pressure system is producing a small area of cloudiness and showers over the southeastern Caribbean Sea. Environmental conditions are not conducive for development while the low moves
westward at 10 to 15 mph during the next several days. This system has a low chance...10 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.
A tropical wave along 74W will move through the W Caribbean through the end of the week. A trailing trough along 65W with 1009 mb low pres near 13N65W will move westward reaching the central Caribbean Friday...and the W Caribbean Saturday. The next tropical wave will approach the tropical N Atlantic early next week.
Overnight, the SAL has increased slightly in terms of area covered and density.
