Chesapeake Bay boaters understand that thunderstorms can quickly spoil a day on the water. Strong winds, tall waves, lightning, and visibility-limiting rain pose a significant risk to mariners. Just in time for the 2022 season, the 2-hour Chesapeake Bay Thunderstorms – Essential Skills webinar will help reduce your chances of a hair-raising or windswept encounter with a thunderstorm.

The webinar will cover:

  • ·How to use Doppler Weather Radar to monitor the development, evolution, and movement of thunderstorms
  • The different types of thunderstorms and the dynamics that lead to their development.
  • How to interpret several key weather maps to recognize the large and small-scale weather patterns that promote thunderstorm development.
