AdrianGlave 0 #1 May 27, 2011 For Eagle Lake, TX 77434... The Weather Channels weather.com has Sunday's forecast showing SSE 22mph winds. Weather Underground is only showing SSE 12mph winds. Anyone know why they differ so much only a few days out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beachbum 0 #2 May 27, 2011 I'd have to figure they use different modelling software, or else have different data that they input TO their model. SDH is now a weatherbug site, which you can see at: http://weather.weatherbug.com/TX/Eagle%20Lake-weather.html?zcode=z6286&stat=p10686 None of them get it right all of the time, but the two I've found to be the most reliable wind forecasts are Intellicast.com (enter city/state, or zip), and USAirnet.com http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&sta=KDWH&state=TXAs long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

AdrianGlave 0 #3 May 27, 2011 Thanks for the reply. Taking the average of all of them it looks like it's going to be another breezy weekend. Next weekend is looking better - for now anyway :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were jumping at Spaceland Saturday...winds were @ 28-29 most of the day but it only felt like 27. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
