Looks and Smells Like A Skunk to Me

You could say another cold front is on our doorstep, but I wouldn’t. The Monday system doesn’t really look like a wave maker.  There’s some wind in front of the system pointed in the right direction without the wind speed. When the front actually gets close the winds go northeast. I can’t see this doing much if anything at this point. If anything changes I’ll let you know.

The streamline/wind speed model I just stumbled across is really cool, since the model I’ve been looking at would only show one wind barb for what must be 100+ miles of open Gulf of Mexico between here and Lousiana.  While limited in the future predictability of this model, it’s three day window should give an accurate wind depiction for short term surf forecasting.
