It's showing SSW on Sunday? Man, their forecaster needs to get off the crack pipe, as in before he loses ALL his brain cells and dies.

How can most forecasts be saying NE AFTER a NW coldfront and another be saying SSW? That's pretty bad.

Gotta have faith, Kev.

These guys at Imitesurf use a stupid computer model, I believe. No real person even looks at the output. And the guys at USAirHeads are known crack abusers. You wouldn't take financial advice from a computer model or a dude strung out, would you?

Just having fun ... but those sites do suck, imo. SSW after a coldfront?
Yeah, right.

Accuweather is usually right, and they have it blowing 3 days, SOLID, no worries.

Tomorrow looks like S to SSW to SW all day. That's cool. EB, I guess.
