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 in the central Caribbean will pass through the SW Caribbean tonight through Tue night and through the Gulf of Honduras on Wed. A second tropical wave continue W through the central Caribbean this afternoon through Tue...reach the SW Caribbean on tue evening...and reach the Gulf of Honduras area on Wed night. The trades will increase to strong across the tropical waters near 16N55W on Thu evening in association with Tropical Storm Grace approaching.
2. TD Fred turns northward. The center of Tropical Depression Fred at 06/0300 UTC is near 24.1N 43.1W. Fred is moving toward the northwest...or 320 degrees...09 knots. The maximum sustained wind speeds are 30 knots with gusts to 40 knots.
3. TS Grace is strengthening over the E Atlantic. The center of Tropical Storm Grace at 06/0300 UTC is near 12.8N 27.5W. Grace is moving toward the West...or 280 degrees...12 knots. The maximum sustained wind speeds are 35 knots with gusts to 45 knots.
 All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us.
Currently TS Grace does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.

4. The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) has decreased slightly in area and density.
