The pressure gradient is pretty flat tomorrow

So it will probably be light, even starting with an outflow in the early afternoon.
Wed and Thurs look good but not epic. There is some divergence in weather reports about a front on Thursday but so far EC's temperature difference for PA and Tofino looks good for both Wed and Thur.
Have fun all.

Except that day on the windfest weekend where it didn't blow, and then a couple weeks before that when it rained on saturday (and I believe a couple other days too).

Glad to see the discussion didn't take notice of my failed wind prediction for today. It looked like it DID blow this afternoon.
Thursday still looks flaky IMHO.
Hope everyone is happy with their spouses and partners.

Read Randy's Nitnaht forecast on BWD, check the temps/weather in PA and the coast...as long as there is a temp gradient and nothing else odd happening NN will be windy.
I've been skunked one or two days this year out of 25 or so at NN...pretty good odds.

Oddly enough though... they say the same is true for PA, yet on Sunday, when my car said 18.5 C at the HQ, and EC said 15-16 in Tofino, I was completely cranking on a 4.7 (25+). I haven't read through the logs, but I assume Nitinat was the same despite a very small temp gradient.

Good comment, Nanmoo. You're right, there's much more to it than the the temp gradient from PA and the coast. We are discovering that the summer thermals rock in the Alberni inlet, but also there's strong winds when the thermals are not going off, which is a very exciting/promising prospect for the upcoming fall season. Wind, wind and more wind!
