Hello All, This is it. We are closing down the shop at Lake Nitinaht. I loved reporting on the weather on a daily base, and I hope you found it useful. My plan is to be back next year and start reporting as soon as I get to the lake, sometimes middle to end of May 2026. I am looking...

It had been requested that I post up a how-to for rescuing runaway wings. I've successfully done it at least once so I guess it makes me an internet expert on the topic. Please feel free to add any methods or insights to this thread. The following is what seemed to work for me the other day...

Currently, a broad area of high pressure over the NE PAC exists along with a surface thermal trough extending northward along the West Coast. This has lead to light offshore flow recently however, a flow reversal is in store. Onshore flow looks to return on Tuesday as a frontal system draws near. With it, small craft winds are possible for the coastal waters Tuesday evening into Wednesday. The latest NBM and HREF probabilities suggest a 50-100% chance of sustained winds exceeding 21 kt. The highest probabilities are for the outer coastal waters. Wave heights with this system will increase to 8-11 ft around this time with the largest waves over the outer coastal waters. Seas will subside Wednesday afternoon to 5-7 ft and will continue decreasing into Friday to 3-5 ft. Additional systems may move over the waters late in the week. However, the latest guidance suggests marine impacts will be minimal at this time. McMillian (Issued: 251 PM PDT Mon Oct 6 2025 by NOAA)

      I appreciate the feedback. I know the new homepage is cluttered and I'm not that happy with the look of it. Also the sidebar info doesn't look great. I will work on it but I'm (clearly) not a web/graphic designer. Some bugs still, but the content is all here so it's getting closer... It does look better on mobile/tablet compared to desktop.

    Nice work everyone. I noticed when you use forecast one and double click on a time you can now scroll through the wind map images. Sweet!
    Edit: In Safari the names of the sites do not come up unless you scroll over it on the forecast one page.

        The first image has no names then the second you can see Dallas Rd but that only comes up if the cursor is over it. I'm I making any sense? Just added a new image from Firefox, it looks great.

          Is that on your ancient iPhone? It's supposed to be white text on blue background but it is not putting the blue background in for some reason, so white text on white is a bit hard to see...

          Edit: Fixed now? Let me know if you see anything else like that thx
