Forcasting the Wind?

Weather.com tends to be the best, they are fairly acurate especially with their hourly forcast....it's nice to look and see what it's SUPPOSED to do at sunrise....but, of course they are never 100% correct....lol

For broad and thorough weather information, I go straight to the source: The National Weather Service.

www.nws.noaa.gov/ (why won't this appear as a link?)

You can get forecasts for any region, they always include wind direction and speed forecasts, they include pressure info and, if you dig a little deeper, they discuss weather trends.

I hate radio, TV and most internet weather because it is so basic and never really tells you much of anything. Oftentimes, the forecast for the Cities is vastly different than for a hunting/fishing destination in northern MN.

Forcast for Duluth May - October. Partly sunny/partly cloudy with a chance of rain. Winds will be out of the north west at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Over the hill temps may reach 70 but "cooler by the lake".

Forcast for Duluth November - April
Partly sunny/partly cloudy with a chance of snow. Winds will be out of the norht west at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Over this hill temps may dip down into the teens but "warmer by the lake".

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
