On Tuesday, March 5th in the third webinar of the series, Weather Makers… Forecasting High and Low Pressure Systems, Mark Thornton delves into large-scale surface weather patterns.   He will show you how wind and weather are governed by these pressures systems and the assorted fronts they pull along with them.  Mark will also explain what type of weather you can expect in relation to your position and how fast or slow a front will be moving.

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.
