Tues PM
Looks like it might be shaing up into a nice strong SE for Tues afternoon! I think I feel a dentist appointment coming on.

ikite shows nothing.. but this site shows big afternoon and is usually dependable..
http://usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/c...t=Get+Forecast ive got my gear ready baby!! |
Accuweather is showing a nice PM spike too, unfortunately they are showing it with a thunderstorm. I'm going to keep one eye on the radar and the other on the wind.

ya.. thats typical .. i figured the spike would be with nasty weather..
as well as Sunday's "epic" forecast will prob be same. |
keep an eye on the radar today....
btw, just found this new radar, best one ive found so far, basically its google earth meets live radar.... works for the whole US and can zoom all the way in http://www.weather.com/outlook/recre...MapLayer=radar |

scroll down and click gulf satellite in the gallery. Jason watches the isobars not the forcasts. Somday I hope2 understand isobar maps. |
Here is the image for Sunday
http://wxmaps.org/pix/avnmr2.144hr.png Notice the over laying isobars. This means a very strong contrast in pressure gradients and the closer the isobars are, the more wind will be generated. This is about as far as my knowledge goes. I am still learning myself. I hope others will post their knowledge and educate all of us. http://wxmaps.org/pix/avnmr.slp.html |
...you've got the important stuff....the wind usually (ie should) blows perpendicular to the isobars, and if you really want to, you can calculate wind strength based on the difference in millibars for a given distance...which is exactly what the forecasting computers do....
....think I'm gonna head out to EB with the dog to do some recon... Cheers, Chris |
Here is some good reading material on Isobars, Isotherms, Isodrosotherms, and Pressure and Temperature.

I saw a few guys get "lucky" yesterday and ride the skyway in the rain for a few minutes when it went to 18... unfortunately it went down to 8 shortly after and started pouring.
