You know you have a SUPERB forecasting tool when National Weather Service people begin to use it too!!!! WHUT WHUT!
((((Haven't used it yet? You all don't know what you're missing!))))
Proof NWS is reading Reefcast too:
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
101 am EDT Thursday Aug 21 2008
Short term /Thursday through Friday night/...
as of 3 PM...easterly fetch will persist across the coastal
waters with Fay to the south and a ridge building in from the north.
This pattern will lead to a continuation of rough seas...and the
Small Craft Advisory will remain in place for all of the coastal
waters. Reefcast plots and the latest wna output both show seas
building into the 6-8 feet range through the period.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE PRESSURE PATTERN WITH BERMUDA HIGH ENTRENCHED OVER THE WATERS. CURRENTLY SOUTH SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH SEAS RANGING 2 TO 3 FEET.

That's pretty smart of them. I think their own sea "forecast" should be replaced by Reefcast!  |
