Surface Wind Forecast Guidance
This wind animation depicts forecasted hourly surface (33 ft [10m] above the water) winds for the next 30 hours. The hourly wind fields were
created by spatially and temporally interpolating wind forecast guidance from the latest run of the National Weather Service's operational
North American Mesoscale (NAM) weather forecast model, or gridded forecasts from NWS field offices. The original spatial and temporal resolutions of the NAM wind forecast was 7.5 miles (12 km)
and 3 hours, respectively. These interpolated wind fields were used by a hydrodynamic forecast model to generate oceanographic forecast guidance
for the Lake Huron out to 30 hours.
