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. High pressure will remain centered over the eastern Gulf of Mexico through Friday. A weak trough will form off the NW Yucatan Peninsula each evening before dissipating over the SW Gulf during the overnight hours each night through the period.
2. A shear line extending from eastern Cuba to Swan Island will dissipate through late today. Moderate to fresh trades are expected elsewhere across the central and E Caribbean before increasing to moderate tonight through Thu.
