It seems like wind prediction should be pretty straight forward.
Wind will blow from areas of high pressure to low pressure. From
poking around NWS and checking buoys, it seems like we have
a trough of low pressure on or slightly off the coast =>
not good... Yet Sherman appears to be going off big time.
Another <dumb> weather question: What are upper level
highs/lows and how do you see them? I recall from my aviator days
that you can have air flows at altitude that are weaker/stronger
and in different directions from the surface flow.
