Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Warmer and dry. Other than a few high clouds drifting over the region skies will remain mostly clear through Sunday. After a clear and cold night tonight with temperatures in the upper 30s... Abundant sunshine on Saturday will warm temperatures into the mid to upper 60s. Warmer still on Sunday as temperatures rise into the lower 70s. The next chance of rain overspreads the area on Monday. Short term (this evening through Saturday) issued at 158 pm edt Fri oct 18 2019 latest surface analysis has high pressure centered over the area this afternoon and will provide favorable conditions again for good radiational cooling tonight with clear skies... Shallow surface based inversion and light SE flow... But not quite as cold with lows 35-40f... And with most of the area experiencing frost with near below freezing temps last night will forgo any headlines of possible frost tonight. Quiet weather continues through the short term as surface high pressure slides east of the area placing us in a milder pattern with developing return flow on the backside Saturday with highs reaching the mid 60s. Long term (Saturday night through Friday) issued at 158 pm edt Fri oct 18 2019 forecast period to begin with dry frontal passage as lead wave moves up into northern manitoba and gulf moisture tied up with system moving up into the carolinas as front moves through our area Saturday night. Further amplification of pattern expected this weekend as strong 140kt jet dynamics west of the aleutians |
comes onshore and result in deepening upper low that will eject out of the plains and move up into the upper ms valley on Monday. Deterministic models trending a little deeper with upper low compared to ensemble means but still similar with timing of sensible weather elements for our area with earlier arrival for onset of precip Monday. Front pre-frontal trof will be aided by good upper level support and stream of gulf moisture as low level thetae axis extends up into the great lakes and pw values reach around an inch from ensemble means. Brief quasi-zonal transition on Wednesday before pattern re-amplifies as upper level energy streams onshore in pacific NW above eastern pacific ridge resulting in deepening of upper trof over the central us. This has potential for unsettled pattern toward the end of the forecast period and into next weekend for areas from plains eastward and bears monitoring for impacts to our forecast area. Aviation (for the 00z tafs through 00z Saturday evening) issued at 728 pm edt Fri oct 18 2019 vfr conditions to persist through the forecast period with a dry subsident airmass persisting. Expect a gradual increase in south- southeast flow as surface ridge slides well east of area. Iwx watches warnings advisories In... None. Mi... None. Oh... None. Lm... None. Synopsis...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
