Radar, storms and hazards

Does WeatherPerch provide marine weather forecasts?

Yes. WeatherPerch includes a marine forecast view among its specialized weather options. Marine weather is particularly important for boaters, sailors, anglers, paddlers, and anyone spending time on or near open water. Conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, gusts, precipitation, visibility, and storms can change the safety and comfort of a trip. A marine forecast should be checked before departure and monitored during longer outings. WeatherPerch can provide useful weather context, but boaters should also consult official marine warnings and local authorities when conditions are hazardous. Weather can change rapidly over water, so a forecast that looked acceptable earlier in the day may need to be reassessed shortly before departure.
