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.
Saturday Aug 24, 2013
Again,
today, skies
will be partly sunny.
Seas
will be choppy to rough at 2 to 4 feet.
Winds will be ESE to SE in direction, this morning, at 10 to 15 mph;
increasing this afternoon and evening to 20 to 30 mph. In the
afternoon, winds will be E in direction. Winds and seas will continue
at this strength through Sunday. Divers
should exercise caution exiting and entering the boats, especially on
the afternoon dives.
There is a chance of scattered rain showers and isolated
thunderstorms, as a tropical wave continues to move slowly W.The air temperatures will range from the mid 80s (ºF) to the low 90s (ºF) or 25ºC to 32ºC.
Ocean water temperatures are 82°F to 84ºF or 27ºC to 28ºC. Visibility is generally 20 to 80 feet.

A tropical wave moving across the Windward Islands this morning will
move across the SE Caribbean this afternoon and tonight...and
accelerate through the central Caribbean Sunday and through the SW
Caribbean Monday and Tuesday.
There is a disturbed area of low pressure in the NE Gulf of Mexico.
It has a 0% chance for further development.
The northern portion of a tropical wave now passing over us, is
disorganized. Upper-level winds appear conducive for further
development, when this system moves westward over the Bay of
Campeche. Slow development is possible if the system gets far enough
offshore. This system has a low chance...20 percent...of becoming a
tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
The SAL has increased in both density and area. See Figs. 9 and 9a.

Coral
spawning and other mass reproductive activity may occur for next
eight (8) nights.Historically, in the Bay Islands, this activity peaks 3 to 6 days after the August full moon. Usually between the hours of 10pm to 2am. This year, the August full moon, for our location, occurred at 7:45pm, Tuesday, 130820.
