Re: [Paddlewise] Weather forecasting

In my estimation, as a professional meteorologist and experienced sailor, a
barometer will do you no good at all.  Perhaps a barograph would give you
some warning of an approaching weather event but they are delicate
instruments.

Local knowledge leavened with observation of changes in cloud cover and
cloud type and variation  in wind direction and velocity are your best bet
for short term local forecasting.
