I wouldn't count on it Sean,

Most prolly the computer is just forecasting thunderstorms,

But we can always keep our fingers crossed for quality consistent wind...

I was just about to make this post...

Ikite was right fo rsunday night for me at IRB...

To me it would be hard to forecast thunderstorms all day at a consistent wind speed and direction, this is just my wishful thinking that we get some wind!

I just looked at a detail analysis,

appears there will be a strong low pressure center a few hundred miles to the NW of us on thursday morning moving to the north of us on thursday afternoon.

Nothing tropical is associated with it ( YET ), but it does look rainy IRB and north on Thursday, may be a lot less showers to the south of IRB, too early still. I guess we'll find out...

Will definately be interesting to see how it pans out.

Ikite showing solid wind all day....

Accuweather showing not a damn thing.

I know Scott is a big fan of Accuweather. We'll see.

IKite is very accurate in other parts of the country, but in general more inconsitent down here. I have always thought that the latitude we live in is a very difficult area to forecast.

But at least there is hope for something. I hope we get some wind cuz a crispy new Switchblade 4 just arrived.

Yea, I like AW. I can't relate to IK. :)

Now the crazy Doppler makes sense. Maybe we will have a little storm form over us with some wind in it. Hopefully it is so close to land it can't cause too much damage...if anything forms of course.

Steve-O 07-15-2008 08:51 PM

Hey its not called IMight surf for nothin.

I like Accuweather too. I like to look at a bunch of models. My top three are NOAA, AW, and Ikite. NOAA and IKite call for wind. 2 out of 3 aint bad.

This time of year, anything goes. The sky looked very different tonight. Very tropical stormish. Somethings up.
