Mean wind and gusts
For light craft and water sports, the difference between mean wind and gust speed can be decisive. Gusts much stronger than the mean indicate more irregular conditions.
Thunderstorms
When thunderstorms are possible, remember that gust fronts can arrive before the rain. Calm skies at your exact position do not guarantee that a nearby cell cannot affect the lake quickly.
Check radar before departure
Looking at radar shortly before leaving helps identify rapidly approaching precipitation. During longer outings, check the evolution again when possible.
