Strong west winds and heavy rain have detoured us from running too far from shore the past few days. Summer weather patterns can be full of surprises. It’s always best to keep a close eye on the weather during this time. West winds normally bring storms in front the gulf to the shoreline. These storms can be severe. Strong winds, lightning and water spouts are common. This past few days have been a challenge. On Friday we saw a smaller boat sunk near shore. No fatalities were reported, but it keeps your guard up. Knowing all of your safety equipment is up to date is a must. Monitor the weather during these situations. There are many great phone apps that show radar and wind speeds for each area. These apps update by the minute, allowing viewers to better understand conditions as they arise. A VHF radio is also a great new safety tool. Listeners can hear updated weather reports and get severe weather warnings with these devices.
