Often, they aren't very useful... "50% chance of thunderstorms" for

Fair enough. If you can sail in 15 knots without needing to reef, you
might find 5 knots of wind rather boring though

The "50% chance of thunderstorms" is a joke. There's a 100% chance of
thunderstomrs... the question is, will one hit right where you happen
to be at the moment? And will it be a summer afternoon flash-bang or a
70-knot howler with golf-ball sized hail? I see this a key point!

Nice to know that being an embittered ex-stalker hasn't changed the
fact that you don't know WTF you're talking about, Saltie/BB.
