<p>Hey Kate! Yes, it's reliable enough for letting me know if and when a high wind day is coming up. It looks like very late Friday evening and Saturday mornng winds will be strong from the west about 20 to 25mph. That other famous Tom (Skilling) is predicting a few inches of snow also, yikes! </p>

<p>I use <a href="https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KILCHICA336&cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this page at Weather Underground</a> for pretty much real-time wind conditions by the lake. I keep the page open in a browser on a second screen at work and keep an eye on the wind meter (I know there's probably a better word for the graphic showing wind speed and direction but can't think of it).</p>

<p>That's intense! The only part of my ride that has a vortex affect is Broadway and Lawrence - from about 20 yards south of the intersection the wind really picks up and then swirls when it hits the westerly wind coming down Lawrence. Luckily I haven't had anything as strong as describe though.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I need my panniers - I have to bring all my work files, work clothes, and shower stuff (no locker I can use overnight) every day. I might have to skip a few rides if the wind…</p>

<p>Yeah - I remember Oak Street curve from when I used to work downtown - sometimes feels like you're biking through the lake!</p>

<p>I normally use <a href="https://www.windy.com" target="_blank">https://www.windy.com</a> - but not sure how accurate it is this close to the lake. Do you find iwindsurf reliable?</p>
