I’m excited to be helping organize a basic marine weather seminar at the Chicago Yacht Club this spring, March 31, 2012.

This all-day seminar will be organized and run by my friend Mark Thornton, one of the original graduates of the Penn State Weather Forecasting program. In addition to being a meteorologist, Mark is an active sailor in Lake Erie and is well-versed in Great Lakes weather.

The seminar is unfortunately restricted to CYC members only and their guests, but I would encourage you to track down that CYC friend if you are in Chicago and interested in attending. At $49, it is a great deal for such a great educational opportunity.
