Using and Understanding Digital Weather Forecasting

Many of us adventurers have relied on the National Weather Service's Marine Weather Reports on line or VHF marine radios for planning outdoors adventures. Considering that these forecasts may cover large areas such as the Northern Inland Waters, which covers most of the San Juan Islands, these forecasts may not be the most accurate for where you are or plan to be.

Today's weather digital apps can provide more specific and accurate forecasts for the unique area in which you may be adventuring. These forecasting apps depend on complex mathematical models for which I will help you to understand how they work and how best use them.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
