What is the most effective place to get weather outlooks and updates? I only sail on an inland lakes but it is so hard to get a good weather report... My wife and I want to anchor out this coming weekend but the weather is different every were I look....

I supplement daily NOAA, Canadian, or Weatherbug weather forecasts with:

- The SailFlow App for more precise and longer range wind forecast details, and

- The NOAA Hi-Def Radar App for real time weather radar details.

I do what the other folks here have posted, but, in the end, it's all about getting to the boat and checking the sky. And keeping an eye on the sky while sailing.

If I could give 20 "likes" to this, I would.

We used to use the "Kiwi Weather Rock". 100% accurate in all conditions. Hang it from the spreaders or transom rail. If dry, it was nice (go sailing). If wet, it was raining (anchor up, drink rum). If moving, it was windy (go sailing). If it was sideways, it was windy A LOT (don't sail, drink rum). If white, there was snow (but highly unlikely where I was from !!) - anchor up, drink rum.
