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 Invest 95L was centered about 600 miles WNW of us, in the eastern Bay of Campeche. It will meander WNW, possibly as a tropical cyclone on Friday and Saturday. A cold front will enter the NW Gulf on Friday night, reaching a position from the Mississippi Delta to the SW Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. It will merge with the low. The front will extend from the western Florida Panhandle to the SW Gulf on Sunday...then stall from the Florida Big Bend to the eastern Bay of Campeche on Monday. The low is expected to drift SE in the SW Gulf on Sunday and Monday.
Humberto has weakened to a tropical depression and is moving north, in the mid-Atlantic away from any landmass.
The SAL, has decreased very slightly in area and density. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
