9/8 Craig's Where to Cower Part 2(Risky Business)
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2020 8:51 am4.5 wind at Grantsville N (an unusual direction for Gville) this AM and it will likely get stronger
throughout the day. Willard Bay with 4.5 N now and getting stronger throughout the day
UL reads SE right now, but will soon be strong N in the 4/8M range with a midday lull
to 5/10, before going 3/trainer towards evening (50MPH gusts are likely). Mona will have
similar wind to UL. Sulfur Creek with East(yep, that's the direction) winds in the 4/8M range
now until 3. In fact, you'll see white caps in your coffee mug at virtually
any body of water most of the day. This is an unprecedented weather event, with non-typical
directions for the wind on bodies of water like DC and Jordanelle, air temps that might not
even make it to 60 degrees (warmest in the AM actually), wind gusts in excess of 50MPH possible,
and mountain snow/sleet/rain in the AM. In other words it's dangerous out there. If you're wanting
to risk your life, keep a weather eye out for extreme wind and show respect for weather you're
not typically familiar with.
Tomorrow looks like more typical post front NW wind at UL in the 5.5/11M range early afternoon through evening
with slightly warmer air temps. Definitely less dangerous than today.
Thursday, almost windless.

If you feel your sailing is essential(and frankly in my case it is essential to
good marital relations), research your launch for access. Remember
that staying at home is the safest probabilistically and if you do choose to go out
follow the Governor's Social Distancing rules. As I say in my
general disclaimer, these forecasts are for entertainment purposes only
throughout the day. Willard Bay with 4.5 N now and getting stronger throughout the day
