Weather Forecasting

The internet has many good sources of free information for the weather.   If you really want to get the most reliable weather window for a passage, you need to compare several weather models (GFS, ECMWF,NAM,..) and look for agreement among them.   Fortunately, many weather services make this easy to do.   My favorite weather sources are:

  1. Windy
  2. PredictWind.com
  3. NOAA

Below is an example from Windy of a unique situation where the weather models strongly agree on the wind strength and direction for several days.
