The human created forecast doesn't seem to be coming up, is it over for the season? I guess its about that time...

It would appear that the human reviewed forecast and extended forcast are gone. Kind of a bummer considering there is still good wind to be had and how expensive it is.

especially considering how inaccurate the computer generated forecasts are.

who's got the good read on the east wind scenario this week?

Maybe if everybody that subscribes wrote in and complained all on one day... It might create enough attention that they would reconsider? An e-mail here or there isn't going to have the same impact as 50 in one day. Be polite, but let them know that the real forecast is part of why we subscribe. Just a thought.

Here are some useful weather forecast websites from the University of Washington Dept of Atmospheric Sciences Dept .

For Western Gorge forecasts, scroll down to the middle regional forecast:
http://www.atmos.washington.edu/data/zone_report.KPQR.html

For Eastern Gorge forecasts, read the topmost regional forecast:
http://www.atmos.washington.edu/data/zone_report.KPDT.html

These forecasts tend to be a bit more accurate than iwindsurf.
