Default What a Mess!!!!

Take a look at Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't think in all the years of looking at the charts, I've seen more confusion. Goes from -0- out of the south in white to 28 in RED from the north.

You can't tell if the cold front is comming out of the North or sneaking up from the South.

Nice colors though....

Ikite has always sucked.

Accuweather is the best, imo. They nailed today's forecast 2 days ago.
They even had it picking up at noon and slowing at 4.
They also had the wind direction shifts nailed.
Unlike Ikite's technology that relies on 2 trained chimps, crayons and a dart board; AW has an actual human using stuff like computers and satellite images to do the forcecasting.
I am sure other sites are good too, but AW is the real deal.

Oh, they tend to be pretty conservative on their NW coldfront windspeeds. If they say 20, plan on more.
If they say 30, you are probably about to get rocked!!
