We not not yet have a weather station on line here a Vision IPD. If you live Down East and have a weather station that can go online, visit the Weather Underground to learn how you can put your station's output on the Web, and let us know when you go online, so we can feature your link here!

Until we get local weather information, the closest weather can be found here.

North Carolina State Information from IWIN The Interactive Weather Information Network, from NOAA -- everything you need to know from the folks who collect the data and make the forecasts, but the format is not so easy to use.

Tide Information

Drum Inlet We have been asked to provide tide information for Drum Inlet...However it appears that the data provided for the locations below is NOT available for Drum Inlet! David Flater, who has designed the program which provides the tide data to the Univerity of South Carolina web site, says: "The sites for which we generate predictions are primarily sites for which long-term observations have been collected (at the site with real instruments) by governmental bodies. Those observations have then been distilled into a set of mathematical constants ("constituents") for a tidal prediction equation. So these are not purely mathematically derived (as are, for example, lunar phase or sunrise/sunset calculations), but must be based on actual observations at the site." The best we can do is tell you that for Drum Inlet, high tide is -29 min. and low tide is -30 min. from Morehead City . Apparently some tide observations are not made public by the government for "security reasons." We guess the government doesn't care much about the fishermen... but then that's not news, is it?
