it's starting to shape up nicely for Tuesday.. I wish I could skip school and work ... I hope it goes off for you guys... other wise this weekend could Push out some NE'ers... It's way to far out at this point but if it happens I'll be there
Thanks to Randy, I am now focused on trying to make Tuesday a go. A few things to shuffle around. Might be able to shoot up early on my motorcycle. Looks like a one kite/one board kinda day.
Looks like there will be ample wind at daybreak. Mike and Randy, Are you guys going? I don't want to show up solo. Tott lott again despite concerns with kites? What about wisconsin point?

Kurt, my wife gave me the thumbs and the bike is loaded. I will check the wind in the morning. If it looks good, I plan to head out between 7-7:30am. I can post here if you want me to.
Sorry guys, I didn't see this one coming. I'm not sure what these whether guys are smokin - I don't see their predictions setting up. Its not happening yet and I don't expect it to.
I have never seen a true "Noreaster" setup with high pressure cells like we have now. If we don't have a big fat juicy low pressure cell lumbering along south and west of here, it ain't gona happen.
In the Bayfield area its blowing NE at about 20-22 knots, Sky Harbor has been rock solid from the north all night. The surface plot just doesn't look NE to me.. When we have a Low Cell, the hills on both sides of the lake tend to act as a funnel - like at the Gorge and accentuate the wind on Park Point in particular. You can look at the weather conditions at Devils Island and figure you can add 10 mph to what ever they have there if its blowing NE in both places.
Don’t get me wrong, it may be great for kiting and big sails, but not the classic NE at 30. Not something I would normally consider checking out….
eeeekss. One foot in the door and the other on the way out. Lots of things "should" do...Duluth Marine Near Shore forecast not reporting...Chip says it's a no go, experimental looks good...aaaaarrrrrgggg.
go to Duluth NOAA page, click Duluth weahter, click more local weather, then click on Sky Harbor and you can get 24 hour trending of winds - its pretty good N at about 15 now.. that's what I would expect it to stay at..
