your best bet is to check atleast 4 sources, if atleast three of them predict wind then you can almost garuantee its gonna blow...

atleast thats what i do

My experience is that they usually predict the front to come in earlier than it actually does, then they end up moving the forecast back, which is a bummer for me because I could ride Mon but not Tue

so true Allan. I've been noticing that for a long time now. It's almost always off (late) one or two days when we're a few days out.
