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
This morning a tropical wave in the W Caribbean is just east of the Bay Islands. It is moving W at 15-20 kt. The wave is embedded within an area of deep moisture that covers the NW Caribbean as depicted on the total precipitable water imagery. The wave continues to be less defined with no associated deep convection. The activity in the vicinity is due to upper level features rather than the tropical wave.
Remnants of Dorian...continue to produce a small but concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms over the SE Bahamas. It is now a surface trough and will reach the SE Gulf of Mexico by this weekend.
Again, overnight,the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) has increased significantly in area and density.
Else where, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours.
