The live webinar is sold out. However, each webinar session is available as a recording the morning following the live session. In addition, the speaker, Mark Thornton of LakeErieWX Marine Weather, is available via email for any questions you have on the materials.
Thunderstorms can quickly spoil an outing in many ways—strong winds, large waves, dangerous lightning, hail, or visibility-limiting rain. This 3-part live webinar series will examine the various types of thunderstorms and the ingredients that lead to their formation. The webinar will cover why thunderstorms often ‘pop-up’ late on summer afternoons and why some storms have short life-spans while others persist for several hours. The webinar will also introduce the many readily-available resources for forecasting and monitoring thunderstorms.
The webinar is designed for all boaters who would like to reduce their chances of a hair-raising or windswept encounter with a thunderstorm.
What you will learn the following at the webinar:
· February 24, 2021
· March 3, 2021
· March 10, 2021
The live webinar combines classroom instruction, case studies, and exercises to create an engaging learning experience.
Recordings Don't worry if you can't attend one of the live sessions. Each session will be recorded and made available to all registered attendees until May 1, 2021.
