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. Showers and thunderstorms have increased across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and adjacent land areas in association with a trough of low pressure that has recently formed at the surface. This system is expected to move across the Yucatan peninsula later today and into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by late tomorrow. Environmental conditions could support slow development of this system during the next few days while it moves generally northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent
2. SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure along with several passing tropical waves will maintain fresh to strong trades over mainly the central and NW Caribbean through the period. A tropical wave across the S central Caribbean will move W through the SW Caribbean through Sun. A second tropical wave over the E Caribbean will move across the central Caribbean on Sun and Mon...and through the SW Caribbean on Tue and Wed. A third tropical wave will pass 55W on Sun night...into the E Caribbean on Mon reaching the central Caribbean on Tue and Wed.
3. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) has decreased slightly in density.
