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.
Skies will be partly cloudy. Again, winds will be light and variable in direction at 5 mph to10 mph today or less. Seas will be calm at 1 ft to 2ft.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Fresh to strong trade winds will persist across the central Caribbean through early Wed as high pres remains N of area...then will diminish as the high pres shifts SE and weakens. A tropical wave along 73W will move W and across the W Carib tonight through Tue night. The next tropical wave along 58W will move across the Lesser Antilles this afternoon and into the Carib this evening then across the E Carib tonight through Tue...and across the central Carib Tue night and Wed...then across the W Carib Wed night through Thu night.
2. Hurricane Fred is bringing strong winds and heavy rains to the Cape Verde Islands.
3. All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. See Figs. 2 and 23b.
Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras.
4. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) has increased slightly in area. See Figs. 18 and 20.
