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 stalling cold front extends from near Panama City, Florida to Veracruz, Mexico. A second, stronger cold front moving through the southern plains, will push off the Texas Coast Saturday. Late Sunday, as this second front stalls over the northern and western Gulf of Mexico, a third front will move into the northern Gulf of Mexico waters behind it. A strong northerly flow of cold air will follow.
There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time.
The SAL, has again increased slightly in area and density in the last 24 hours. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
