Using and Understanding Digital Weather Forecasting

Many of us adventurers have relied on the National Weather Service's Marine Weather Reports on line or VHF marine radios for planning outdoors adventures. Considering that these forecasts may cover large areas such as the Northern Inland Waters, which covers most of the San Juan Islands, these forecasts may not be the most accurate for where you are or plan to be.

Today's weather digital apps can provide more specific and accurate forecasts for the unique area in which you may be adventuring. These forecasting apps depend on complex mathematical models for which I will help you to understand how they work and how best use them.
