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. Synopsis...a tropical wave associated with the remnants of tropical cyclone Grace is over the W Caribbean along 82W. The wave will pass W of Cuba tonight and reach the Yucatan Peninsula by Wed. Another tropical wave is over the E Caribbean along 63W. The wave will reach the central Caribbean tonight and the W Caribbean by Thu. Weakened ridging N of the area will diminish winds in the central Caribbean Thu through Sat.
2. There are three areas of disturbed weather in the Atlantic-Caribbean-Gulf of Mexico basin. None of them currently poses a threat to the Bay Islands or north coast of Honduras.
3. The SAL has changed slightly in area and density.
