5 days max maybe??
Have a trip planned out of venice for the 1st then going to wyoming for the 5th. Been checking weather in both places constantly. Is it mostly historical data this far out?

It'll be pretty close, in my experience, but of course can change. I would bet it be less likely to change in Venice than Wyoming this time of year short of a tropical storm. Weather changes faster the further north you go on "shoulder" seasons and we are definitely in fall in SE Washington....I would bet they are the same in Wyoming. I suspect its still pretty much Summer in Venice LOL...

not at all predictable. my last two trip were supposed to be 1-2 but turned out 4-5.

they were calling for 5kt winds, and you could see from bouy reports and stations along the coast, the winds were 15plus. You would think someone would be looking at real time conditions and updating the forecasts.

2-4 hours is all you can trust a forecast.

2 days out you can use it to get an idea of what it may be like.

Barring something like yesterday where we know it’s raining all day, I just go anyway. They’re almost always wrong.

NOLA, today was supposed to be the worst of the rain. It’s been misty, cool and relatively nice all day. Could easily fish in this weather
