Note:I've made some changes to my Nitinat Forecast Page with some of the Precipitation Forecast Models for 24 hours, 48 hoursand 3 days.
These are automatically updated. The pressure slope model link to Enviroment Canada should give you an idea if its a good idea to go to Nitinat right now.
If the pressure slope is Northerly or Easterly, forget it. If it Westerly or Southerly its probably going to blow at Nitinat if its not raining.
I've also added the 2pm forecast chart from the University of Washington MM5-GFS weather model.
Note: if you want a good look at any of the images below, just doubleclick on them and they should expand to full screen.
