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. A trough will develop over Yucatan Peninsula each night and drift westward into the SW Gulf of Mexico each night before dissipating in the morning hours.
2. Trade winds will weaken through Fri as a broad trough in the W central Atlantic moves W and passes N of the area. Winds will increase across the E waters this weekend as the trough N of the area weakens.

3. A tropical wave is over the eastern Atlantic W of the monsoon trough with axis near 24W. A satellite hovemoller diagram indicate the wave came off the African coast early Thursday morning. Enhancements of meteosat satellite imagery show dry air and dust behind the wave axis where a lack of convection is noticed.
4. A tropical wave is E of the Lesser Antilles S of 19N with axis near 59W...moving W at 15 kt during the last 24 hours. SSMI TPW imagery show moderate moisture behind the wave axis and abundant moisture ahead of it in the SE Caribbean. A slight middle-level diffluent environment support scattered moderate convection N of the wave axis from 15N to 18N between 41W and 63W. Similar convection is within 200 nm either side of the wave axis S of 11N. Further convection is being hindered in part by strong deep layer wind shear in this region of the tropical Atlantic and eastern Caribbean.
This tropical wave will move W to the E Caribbean tonight and across the southern Caribbean through the weekend.
4.Tropical cyclone formation is not expected in the next 24 to 48 hours.
