We all know that apps are a convenient and popular way to access wind & wave forecasts, marine observations, weather radar, and to prepare the most favorable route for your passage. However, it doesn’t take long to lean that not all apps are created equal. Join Mark Thornton, president of LakeErieWXX and veteran GLCCSchool presenter, on Thursday, December 11th as he walks you through the fascinating but sometime confusing world of Weather Forecasting Apps.

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.

Be sure to watch for Mark’s four-part Great Lakes Weather Series kicking off on March 10th. If you are a serious Great Lakes cruiser, this definitive Great Lakes weather series is not to be missed.
