On Tuesday, February 20th in the first webinar in this series, Great Lakes Essential Weather 1: Marine Weather Basics, by Mark Thornton, one of the Great Lakes most accomplished weather forecasting authorities, will examine the essential forces that create our summer cruising weather. Mark will show you how to look deeply into the array of weather maps and weather data available to Great Lakes boaters. If you want to truly sort through all this sometimes confusing metrological shorthand, this webinar is the place to start.

Mark Thornton is one of the foremost weather authorities on the Great Lakes and his company LakeErieWX has become a “go to” source for many, many Great Lakes cruisers and racers. Mark has been forecasting Great Lakes weather for almost 20 years and is, himself a Great Lakes cruiser.
