GSL/Antelope Slip Renters and Marina Users, Great Weather Apps for smart phones If you are interested weather and sailing on the Great Salt Lake please read on. If not you can delete this email now. As most of you know, I am a total weather geek. Every morning and evening I pull up weather charts, forecast models and real-time observations from multiple sources and then give my best guess as to what the weather might do. I can't tell you the last time I watched a television forecast. It has been some time. Most of the television forecasts, although very good, are Wasatch Front based and can be very inaccurate on a daily basis for Great Salt Lake. Since I spend most of my time and weather concerns on the Great Salt Lake I must get my information from other sources. Often from the same place the television meteorologists are getting their information. Some great forecasting devices, models and real-time observations can be found right on your phone (if you have a smart phone). I use my Iphone as much as my computer for knowing what is going on now or what is going to happen to the weather. Some of the apps I use can forecast wind models in three hour increments, track lightning and thunderstorm cells (a must for sailing in the summer), give real-time wind observations, great radar and satellite images and more. I have put the names and descriptions of several apps I use on www.gslmarina.com Feel free to check out the page; check out some apps; email me about apps you use or like (must be weather, maritime or navigation based app).
