Wednesday Forecast:
Been a good month so far, and the wind just keeps coming. The last few sessions have been S, but tomorrow gives us some SW that we all love. However, TIMING IS THE KEY for Wednesday.
A low pressure system is forming over Michigan RIGHT NOW. It will move east overnight with the jetstream directly over us. With it comes a pretty strong cold front that could bring an abrupt change in wind direction, some possible thunder storms, and a chance for an isolated tornado.
So, it’s gonna start out S, which is typical when these systems come across, and turn WSW….then WNW. For the SW-WSW you will probably want to shoot for the timeframe between 9am and 12pm. Too early and it’s S, too late and it’s W-WNW. As usual NAM shows S lastly longer and GFS shows more W starting earlier, but if you get to your beach by 9am you should get some SW-WSW rides before noon. It could be a little unpredictable if some storms pop up, but I’m optimistic that we will get a good hour or two of rides. Magnitude might be 20-30mph.
I’m plan to rig early with the kit I think I will ride and get dressed early…..then wait for the direction to kick in. Might have to rig a second sail, but that’s no biggie. There may still be WNW wind after 12noon if you like that direction. Some models showing 25mph WNW lasting into the evening.
Have fun!
