Wind This Weekend?

Post by Will »

Accuweather predicts mid-teens with gusts in the mid twenties for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Any other opinions?

I am not seeing it though I will believe it you do. I will be camping up on Mille Lacs all weekend so if blows that'd be a great plus!!!

Saturday wind

Post by steveb »

The Firehouse 50 bicycle race is Saturday, Thats 700 people praying for no wind.
I'd say it's a 100% probability it will nuke on Saturday.

Will,

I have used Accuweather (mostly for radars) for years, and have found that their wind forcasts are always inflated to the high side. They often predict 7-15 more than the other forcasts. Their computer model is wacky as far as wind goes. I have emailed them about it & they didn't seem to care. For wind forcasts I would not count on Accuweather.
