Saturday is launch day and I've been eyeing the weather forcasts. Depending on which weather service for Lake Michigan and Chicago.. it is anywhere from intermittent showers with winds from the North at 9 Kts. (NOAA) to partly sunny with WNW winds at 25 MPH winds with 40 MPH gusts :eek:(Accuweather) with high wind warnings on their website.

Don't know which one to believe.

I can handle the NOAA forcast altough it means I'll be a motor boat, but the second one will probably keep me in the marina. :cussing:
Anyone else have these kind of descrepancies?!

Generally speaking NOAA forcasts in our area seem to err towards caution. IOW the forecast is usually worse than reality.
