Hey there nice weather! It's nice to see you again!
Seriously though, what a great end to the week. If the thunderstorms stay away this weekend - we should have some decent sailing weather.
Saturday and Sunday currently have forecast highs in the mid-70's. They are also calling for a possibility of thunderstorms. As we know, this is often not the case in the city of Chicago. It is always good to be prepared though. The Chicago Sailing staff will be tracking the radar and we will make sure to keep you all safe!
The wind prediction for this weekend is a predominately eastern wind ranging from 10 - 20 knots. These winds will lead to some chop on our side of Lake Michigan. Expect some waves and be prepared for a little water in the boats!
All in all, not the best forecast, but we'll take it. With a little luck, there will be sailing all weekend long. Speaking of which, this is the second to last weekend for our spring sailing special. Get out on the water soon and take advantage of free check-outs and get your 3rd hour free of rental time.
See you soon!

Weather Preview 4/21 Weekend
Chicago has been blessed with some fantastic early sailing season weather and it looks like this is going to be one of those weekends.
Saturday and Sunday currently have predictions of partly cloudy sky's with highs in the mid-50s and lows in the high-30s. Temperatures will improve as we kick off next week, predicted to climb steadily to the 70's for the weekend of April 28th.
Our wind forecast continues to feature the conflicted mid-western spring winds that we all know and love. The National Weather Service has issued a Gale Watch through tomorrow, in conjunction with the predicted building of northern winds from 10 to 35 knots over the course of the day. Luckily, the winds will fall off over the evening and return to a 15 - 20 knot northern breeze by 7 am, just fine for sailing in. Lower Lake Michigan will continue to see shifty winds throughout the rest of the weekend and early next week as they flip flop directions and speeds.
Boats are available on Saturday and Sunday, so feel free to come on down and join us for an early season sail!
