The Weather Channel Marine system delivers current marine weather and forecast
information directly to a boat’s computer via satellite broadcast up to 200
miles off the continental U.S. shore.
The service also overlays weather
information on Maptech i3 and select Raymarine displays. Stormcast displays
icons showing the speed and direction of significant storms. WSI NOWrad weather
radar is updated every five minutes, and shows animated loops of imagery from
the past two hours.
The system provides point-and-click access to sea
condition reports from 1,200 coastal reporting stations and offshore buoys —
over 250 are system proprietary. Regional NOAA weather updates are delivered
live as they are issued and can be selected according to the vessel’s operating
area.
