How this forecast is built
4 of 5 inputs reporting. Stations, locations, and roles are shown below.
NWS hourly forecast
RoleSupplies the hourly wind, sky, temperature, and precipitation forecast at this destination.
- forecast point
- Chester Boat Basin · chester-boat-basin
- Coordinates
- 41.4095° N, 72.4340° W
Hourly wind, weather, temperature, and precipitation forecast resolved from the selected latitude/longitude.
NWS coastal marine grid
RoleSupplies forecast wave heights, which Boat or Nope uses before buoy-based estimates when available.
- marine grid point
- Central Long Island Sound · 44039
- Distance
- 19.1 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 41.1380° N, 72.6550° W
Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC 44039. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.
NDBC 44039
RoleChecks recent observed wind and waves and helps fill gaps when the marine grid has no usable wave value.
- buoy
- Central Long Island Sound · 44039
- Distance
- 19.1 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 41.1380° N, 72.6550° W
Nearest catalog buoy, 19.1 NM from the selected location. Observed wind and wave reports when this station reports seas.
NDBC: 404 Not Found
CO-OPS 8461490
RoleSupplies predicted tide heights and high/low timing for each forecast day.
- tide station
- New London · 8461490
- Distance
- 16 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 41.3550° N, 72.0870° W
Nearest catalog tide station, 16 NM from the selected location. Tide predictions and high/low events in feet relative to MLLW for the available forecast days.
AviationWeather KGON
RoleAdds nearby observed and forecast gust context from METAR and TAF reports.
- aviation station
- Groton-New London · KGON
- Distance
- 17.9 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 41.3300° N, 72.0500° W
Nearest aviation candidates: KGON 17.9 NM, KHTO 28.2 NM, KWST 28.8 NM.
Hourly seas: NWS coastal marine-grid wave height is preferred when available. Gaps fall back to the latest NDBC wave observation projected with forecast wind; fallback values are planning estimates, not NOAA wave forecasts.
Verdict: Go, Caution, No-Go, or Incomplete is derived from the boat limits you select for wind and seas.
