Weather or Not!?!
Published 7:54pm on 16 Jun 2020
Below are some links that Chief Meteorologist, Natasha Stenbock shared with us after her informative talk at our June 10, General Meeting regarding weather in relation to sailing and forecasting tips.
Marine Forecast & Tides: NWS-Portland
Surface Charts - Ocean Prediction Center
National Weather Service - Jet Stream
Natasha also left the following note relating to the surface maps: The attached surface maps show surface pressure and fronts. Pair that up with the archived conditions at PDX and that should give you some idea of how actual conditions are depicted on a surface chart. Dates are listed and the time is in Zulu. Zulu time minus 7 hours gives you Pacific time.
If there are any questions about this information, please contact Jen at vicecommodore@owsa.net who will be happy to provide Natashas email address for follow up. If you missed this General Meeting, we hope to see you next time!
