Will there be wind tomorrow?

Weather forecasts.
Check out the Great Lakes National
Data Bouy Center page and 48
hr forecast.
Another quick look at Toledo weather from
Intellicast and the regional Windcast.
This big map from the UNISYS Weather Server covers the whole US.
Also please read the notes to the right from their FAQ on what a wind
barb is before you click on the picture. I've found their map to be
very helpful. My observations are that if you are down stream within
a hundred miles of two big barbs then load up the short boards and
head to the beach when you see the tree limbs start to move!

The circle
represents cloud cover. The open (black) circles represent clear skies and filled
circles represent cloudy skies. Varying degrees of fill represent how much cloud
cover there is. The line coming out of the circle is called a wind barb. This
represents the wind direction and speed. The line points into the wind (the direction
the wind is coming from) and the number of barbs determine the wind speed in 10s
of knots (roughly MPH). A small barb is 5 knots. |
