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.

Monday Dec. 02, 2013

Again today, skies will be mostly cloudy. There will be occasional heavy, intermittent, rain showers, as cool, high pressure air continues to push down from the north. Expect the rains to continue as long as cold, high pressure air dominates the atmosphere to the north and until the ocean atmospheric system reaches its winter equilibrium state. At depths of 100 feet or greater ocean water temperature remains high at 82ºF to 84ºF. Winds will be mostly NW in direction, at 10 to 12 mph or less. Seas will be moderate at 2 to 4 feet.
Another strong cold front is forecast to push into the Gulf of Mexico Thursday and Friday.
The air temperatures will range from the low 70s (ºF) to the low 80s (ºF) or 24ºC to 26ºC.
Ocean water temperatures from the surface to 100 feet are 79°F/25ºC or less. Visibility from the surface down to 100 feet is poor. Visibility above the thermocline will remain poor until the easterly trade winds return and the freshwater and runoff are mixed into the oceanic water column.
The SAL (Saharan Air Layer) has increased in area and decreased in density. See Figs. 9 and 9a below.
