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.

The Tropical Weather Outlook

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Weakening cold front over the NW Gulf of Mexico from S Texas to W Panhandle of Florida early this morning will drag E and stall along 29N-30N this evening...then drift inland and dissipate through Sun. Otherwise...weak high pres to prevail through Wed.
2. Fresh to strong trades will persist across the central Caribbean through the forecast period. Moderate to fresh trades are expected across the W and E Caribbean and tropical Atlantic waters through Wed.
