WEATHER INFORMATION

   

Weather is so very important to ALL our boating activities!  Monitor Mother Nature and you'll be happy you did!  Get up to the minute weather info...

 

We sail, therefore, we monitor  weather.

Below are some fantastic links:

  

 

Weather.com -  The Weather Channel -  Ithaca Forecast.  Includes Temp, Wind speed & direction, Barometric Pressure readings, relative humidity and chance of precipitation prediction.  Also gives hourly forecast.  Fairly reliable, but be aware that the wind speeds are sometimes given lower that what actually hits Cayuga Lake.

 

NOAA (National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration - Ithaca, Binghamton & Elmira forecasts, including Hazardous Weather Outlooks for local areas.  Detailed 7 day forecast from the National Weather Service

 

Current Doppler Radar for New York State

 

Info on using your VHF Radio

Learn what each channel is used for

If you have a VHF Radio (Very High Frequency), used on most boats, you should monitor the local weather from the National Weather Service before departing (EACH TIME).  You can monitor weather on the WX channel #6 162.500 MHZ for the Ithaca area.  The weather outlook is updated every 3-6 hours and a report is given from Ithaca, Cortland, Elmira, Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester - Sea conditions given for the Finger Lakes, Lake Ontario and Oneida Lake.  You will hear of any HAZARDOUS WEATHER expected in the areas noted within the next few hours.
