Thursday/Friday Forecast:

Nice system coming giving us a couple days of good wind potential in WNY. By Thursday morning the low pressure from the west moves across the GLR. With it comes a cold front and a tasty pressure gradient. The cold front comes through around 8am Thursday, and WSW wind follows it for much of the day.

Look for WSW wind on…[Read more]

Today we will see ENE wind on Lake Ontario 15-25mph. Already blowing 20mph at several locations.

A huge low pressure system will be over Quebec Thursday morning and will extend a deep trough over Lakes Erie and Ontario. Part of this low pressure system brought 60mph winds to part of South Dakota today. Lakes Michigan and Huron are currently experiencing 30mph winds at the time of this post.

Tuesday Forecast:

Today was a great start to October with a couple hours of 30mph wind on Lake Ontario. YEEHAW!!

On Tuesday there is a very localized low pressure system that will pass directly over Buffalo. This means that it’s possible for wind to be blowing NE on Lake Ontario while at the same time blowing SW on Lake Erie.

Right now it looks…[Read more]

Monday Forecast:

High pressure over the GLR for Monday bringing some ENE wind. Both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario have potential for 15-25mph, although models are differing quite a bit. Take a closer look at 5am to make your decisions. Maybe some rain showers, but that’s no big deal. Air temps will still be in the 50’s. Water temp is warm at both…[Read more]

Friday “Happy Hour” Forecast:

Are you ready for Friday Happy Hour. Today is the BEST kind of Happy Hour!!!! Windy!!! And it’s probably gonna be more than an hour. Can I have a double shot of “wind” straight up (not on the rocks…that’s a jinx) with a lime wedge. And put in an order of fried donkey dicks, some chicken loops and a taka.

We’ve got…[Read more]

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…[Read more]

Tuesday Forecast:

Really nice pressure gradient setting up for Tuesday morning. Gonna be a S session starting at sunrise, 20-40mph on Lake Erie. Wind magnitude will diminish as the day goes on, but there should be some wind most of the day. Rain likely in the morning.

The Finger Lakes will also get some SSE wind, maybe 20-30mph.

I will probably…[Read more]

Sunday/Monday Forecast:

The high pressure setup today and Monday morning gives us a chance for ENE sessions at Olcott.

Late Sunday afternoon and evening there is a chance for a 15mph session at Olcott. It is a low probability. Monday morning is more probable for a 20mph session at Olcott from dawn until 2pm.

Friday Forecast:

It’s almost Friday, and things are looking good.

Nice low pressure system coming across the plains today and just starting to bring some wind to Lake Michigan now. The gradient brought a 20mph session to Lake Ontario today, and by tomorrow morning we will see a lot more wind here in Buffalo.

Look for SSW winds 20-40mph most of…[Read more]

While we all have our eyes on Friday, don’t forget about TODAY. There may be a session after work.

ENE winds may pick up on Lake Ontario in the Olcott area. Magnitude possibly 15-20mph, although a couple models are showing a little more. The time frame looks to be 3pm to dark.

Friday looks great. Direction likely to be SSW…[Read more]
