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 weak tropical wave, just to the E of us, along 80W will move to inland Central America today.
A tropical wave over western Africa is expected to move over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean on Sunday...and conditions appear favorable for development after that time. This system has a low chance...20 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours...but a high chance...80 percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days. This disturbance is expected to move westward at around 10 mph near the Cape Verde Islands in the next couple of days and then west-northwestward over the open eastern Atlantic.
The SAL, has increased slightly in density. This low density and area covered, increases the probability for the first Atlantic hurricane of 2013 to form. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
