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, Apr. 07, 2014

Skies will be mostly sunny. Winds will be ESE in direction at 12 mph to 15 mph during the day; becoming ENE this afternoon and evening at 20 mph to 30 mph. Divers should exercise caution exiting and entering the boats, especially on the afternoon dives. Seas will be choppy to rough at 2 to 4 feet or higher.

High pressure allows for fresh to strong SE flow across the Gulf of Honduras through today. A strong cold front will enter the far NW Caribbean Sea and Yucatan Channel Tuesday, followed by fresh to strong northerly flow. The front is forecast to stall from the Windward Passage to the Honduras/Nicaragua border by early Thursday...then weaken and become diffuse by Friday. Expect strong to near gale force tradewinds and high seas through Monday.

The air temperatures will range from the high 70s (ºF) to the mid 80s (ºF) or 24ºC to 26ºC.

Ocean water temperatures are 80°F to 82°F or 24ºC to 25ºC. Visibility is 20 to 80 ft.

The SAL (Saharan Air Layer) has changed in area and in density. See Figs. 16 and 17 below.
