Forecast Information

The Forecast chart shows city forecasts, marine forecasts,

warnings, hurricane warnings, METARS, county warnings,

weather fronts and pressure centers, surface pressure, and

weather buoys.

Viewing Forecast Information for Another Time Period

Select Charts > Forecast.

Select an option:

• To view the weather forecast for the next 48 hours, in 12-

hour increments, select Next Forecast multiple times.

• To view the weather forecast for the previous 48 hours, in

12-hour increments, select Previous Forecast multiple

times.

Weather Fronts and Pressure Centers

Weather fronts appear as lines that indicate the leading edge of

an air mass.

Front Symbol

Pressure-center symbols often appear near weather fronts.

Pressure-

Description

Center

Symbol

Indicates a low-pressure center, which is a region of

relatively lower pressure. Moving away from a low-

pressure center results in increased pressure. Winds

flow counterclockwise around low-pressure centers in

the northern hemisphere.

Indicates a high-pressure center, which is a region of

relatively higher pressure. Moving away from a high-

pressure center results in decreased pressure. Winds

flow clockwise around high-pressure centers in the

northern hemisphere.

Viewing a Marine Forecast or an Offshore Forecast

Select Charts > Forecast.

Pan the chart to an offshore location.

The Marine Forecast or Offshore Forecast options appear

when forecast information is available.

Select Marine Forecast or Offshore Forecast.

City Forecasts

City forecasts appear as weather symbols. The forecast is

viewed in 12-hour increments.

Viewing Sea Conditions

The Sea Conditions feature shows information about surface

conditions, including winds, wave height, wave period, and wave

direction.

Select Charts > Sea Conditions.

Surface Winds

Surface wind vectors appear on the Sea Conditions chart using

wind barbs that indicate the direction from which the wind is

blowing. A wind barb is a circle with a tail. The line or flag

attached to the tail of the wind barb indicates the wind speed. A

short line represents 5 knots, a long line represents 10 knots,

and triangle represents 50 knots.

Wave Height, Wave Period, and Wave Direction

Wave heights for an area appear as variations in color. Different

colors indicate different wave heights, as shown in the legend.

The wave period indicates the time (in seconds) between

successive waves. Wave period lines indicate areas that have

the same wave period.

Wave directions appear on the chart using red arrows. The

direction of each arrow pointer indicates the direction in which a

wave is moving.

Viewing Forecast Sea Conditions Information for

Another Time Period

Select Charts > Sea Conditions.

Select an option:

• To view forecasted sea conditions for the next 36 hours, in

12-hour increments, select Next Forecast multiple times.

• To view the forecasted sea conditions for the previous 36

hours, in 12-hour increments, select Previous Forecast

multiple times.

Viewing Fishing Information

The weather Fishing chart shows present water temperature,

present surface pressure conditions, and fishing forecasts.

Select Charts > Fishing.

Surface Pressure and Water Temperature Data

Surface-pressure information appears as pressure isobars and

pressure centers. Isobars connect points of equal pressure.

Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind

conditions. High-pressure areas are generally associated with

fair weather. Low-pressure areas are generally associated with

clouds and the chance of precipitation. Isobars packed closely

together show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure

gradients are associated with areas of stronger winds.

Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury

(inHg), or hectopascals (hPa).

Colored shading indicates the surface temperature of the water,

as shown in the legend in the corner of the display.

Forecasting Fish Locations

You can show areas that contain optimal weather conditions for

specific species of fish.

NOTE: This feature is not available on all devices and in all

subscriptions.

From the weather Fishing chart, select Menu > Fish

Species.
