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

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.

2.A middle level to upper level trough passes through the western Atlantic Ocean to Cuba into the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea...into Honduras in Central America. Convective precipitation... isolated moderate from 15N northward and 80W westward. An upper level ridge is along 32N60W in the Atlantic Ocean...to 23N64W to 21N65W...entering the Caribbean Sea to 15N67W and to 7N66W in Venezuela. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the Caribbean Sea to the east of the middle level to upper level 32N70W-to-Honduras trough that is in the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea.
3. A weak cold front will move into the northern Gulf of Mexico waters late Sat where it will stall and become diffuse Sun.
