Man, weather.com has been so off lately on the forecasts, it's ubelievable. Look at this front right now:

http://www.weather.com/maps/maptype/currentweatherusregional/westuscurrentweather_large.html

unless there is something really fast moving coming in from the east or unless the low up north is going to suddenly drop in, I don't see where this storm is at???

I'd still love to be on the water right now, but these weather forecasts sure have been funky lately.

You are'nt kidding....they say 25mph winds for the next day, so I'm bummed and don't pack my stuff... and then wake up to a light breeze outside...what???? I check it again and it shows 6mph winds all day...go figure.

It used to be alot more accurate, I think with these storms they are just throwing out some wild guesses...

I am getting my information from last nights weather forcast. We
all know how accurate that is. They did say this could be the
low of the year but I don't see it either.

And I agree with you Trev. Work Blows!

I might hit Almaden tonight just to say I tried. Rather be
down south a little.

good luck all

Some of you guys might like this. http://store.shopambient.com/weex1.html

It's software that runs on your pc. Small download, 3.3 megs. It's the most accurate for local weather that I have found. That's because it's based on other peoples weather stations in your 'neighborhood'.

Once installed, you can go into the settings and tell it how often to update, 5 min, 10 min, etc. You can also have it display a 'weather balloon'. It's a little window, about 1"x3" that sits on your desktop and gives you the current conditions. You can also choose locations based on city or zip and save those as favorites and the current info for each location is displayed on the right hand side of the window.
4128, whoa

Ok, I guess it was the option 'unless something moves in really fast from the east'. HOlY smokes, it's blowing a gale and dumping rain out right now.

Hardly a cloud in the sky or a breath of wind this morning in san diego. Supposed to be raining this afternoon, it must be comin in fast.
