Thunderstorms can quickly spoil an outing in many ways: strong winds, large waves, dangerous lightning, waterspouts, or visibility-limiting rain.
This four-hour seminar presented by Mark Thornton of LakeErieWX Marine Weather will examine the various types of Great Lakes thunderstorms and the ingredients that lead to their formation. The seminar will cover why thunderstorms often "pop-up" late on summer afternoons and why some storms have short life-spans while others persist for several hours. The seminar will also introduce the many readily-available resources for forecasting and monitoring thunderstorms.
The seminar is designed for all Great Lakes boaters (power and sail) who would like to reduce their chances of a hair-raising or windswept encounter with a thunderstorm.
