Ah yes, the famous Chesapeake Bay "5 to 15 out of the south" forecast. Covers them from a southwest drifter to a piping southeast sea breeze.

Agree that TV weather is dismal. Typical report is 90 percent what happened yesterday and 10 percent what will happen tomorrow. They no longer even show the surface maps so you can't make up your own forecast.

At least for my area, I have found the NWS coastal forecasts to be pretty accurate. The TV weatherman's "marine forecast" seems to be a straight regurgitation of NWS.
