One interesting thing I've noticed though is that the text based forecast does not correlate with the graphical forecast sometimes. Case in point, last weekend they predicted 40kt winds on Sunday in Portsmouth. This would heve been heavy for Frosty racing. Everybody seemed to be referencing the text report, which really didn't change until almost Sunday morning. The graphical forecast however was on the money three days out. I like the graphical forecast better anyways because you can basically animate the forecast with respect to virtually all weather parameters and get a great visual as to how things are going to play out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
