[slayer]

were do yall try and get yall most reliable extended forcast???

who has the best track record for being right??? and who is wrong more often than not????

I only fish nearshore, but I use NWS and also Reefcast. I will try the other two as well. I enjoy comparing who is right more than not.

For me, windspeed and direction, I like reefcast as it is more detailed throughout the day. Wave height is almost always the same.

Windfinder is for sailers, surfers, and windsports nuts, but their forecasts are pretty good.

Oh yeah, wunderground is my main duckhunting tool. The weather is spot on. I always check NWS, Reefcast and Wunderground before every trip. Ain't the internet great? Glad Al Gore invented it. (or was it JT?)

If you fish the Carrabelle area, I invite you to check out my weather site on Wunderground.com.
I have been maintaining a 'personal weather station' for about 5 years and put it online back in Jan this year. It disseminates accurate data and updates every 2-3 seconds (rapid fire). It records all parameters every 5 minutes as is shown on the history page . The 'rapid fire' updates is a nice feature, particularly, for checking 'right now' wind conditions.
The current conditions page is enhanced by Wunderground, with local radar, a 7 day forecast, marine forecast, tides, moon phase, other area wx stations and a wealth of other wx related info. . I have a web cam overlooking my front yard and the St George Sound. The picture is not the best quality, but good enough to see what's happening, weatherwise. It updates every 5 minutes.

Hope some of y'all will find these weather pages handy and useful for your 'on the water' planning.

Disclaimer...I don't have a degree in meteorology, but received extensive training on the physical science of weather over the 37 years I spent with a major airline. That and I watch the Weather Channel a lot... and I've stayed at HIE a few times...lol Otherwise, it is just a very interesting hobby.

I can't get the links to work on my end...typing 32322 in the location field of any wunderground.com page will get you the info...sorry. qg

What Q said plus weatherbug for the phone. Gives, among other things live radar, winds and lightning strike overlays on google aerial photos
