  1. I have been a fishing boat captain for over 30 years doing most of my boating in Long Island Sound. Over time I have noticed certain patterns in weather that I cannot explain nor has one or two meteorological experts been able to explain either. Thus I have to questions that perhaps the membership can explain for me. First of all, I notice that about 80% or more of storm frontal passages seem to hit this area late afternoon or early evening. Generally, watching the radar the cool fronts come from the northwest and come into the NY metro areolate in the day. Rarely if ever I can remember this occurring in the morning or mid-day.It seems like the timing of the frontal passages always occur late in the day. It would seem to me that when a frontal boundary is approaching, there should be no reason why that particular timing should occur. Any suggestions? Item 2. When I am fishing, optimal conditions are having wind and tide coming from the same direction.Thus, for me, a west, southwest or northwest wind and outgoing tide can produce optimal results. Sometimes the NWS will predict a wind change for a particular day and while they might target that wind change for morning or afternoon, I find that it generally coincides with the change in tide and I cannot explain why. And while on the topic of NWS, their marine forecasts in this area are horrible resulting very frequently in winds coming from the direct opposite of the forecasts. I can understand a variation of the predicted wind direction so if they say southeast it could be east or northeast. But sometimes they will call for a wind direction and in fact the actual direction is 180 degrees from the forecast direction. It doesn't happen often but often enough from to notice. So I have joined this forum to learn. I love observing weather, I love being out on the water and feeling the cold downdraft of an approaching T-Storm and marveling at the power of wind and waves. It's exciting (unless of course the lightning hits the boat) Can anyone here impart some knowledge? Thanks in advance Ray
