Hundreds of boats up to 60’+ in water and on land plus: $1,000 Giveaway, Food Trucks, Beer Tents, Live Music, Kids Zone and More!

Mark your calendar! The tenth annual Metro Boat Show, the largest in-water boat show in the Midwest, is coming to Lake St. Clair Metropark September 12-15 with boats up to 60 ft.+ in length on display and for sale. Boats featured include new and previously owned fishing boats, sailboats, cruisers, yachts, pontoon boats, personal watercraft, ski and wakeboard boats, canoes, kayaks and paddleboards. Hundreds of boats will be in water and on land. The show is a great place to get the first look at the new 2020 model introductions, and for end-of-season deals from quality yacht brokers and dealers. For those new to boating, it is also a great place to learn more about boating, and just to have some fun.

The outdoor location of the show and attractions at the event add to the appeal of this boat show – it’s very different than our indoor winter boat shows. A picturesque boardwalk lined with beautiful boats along the Black River leading to Lake St. Clair is the perfect backdrop for a day on the water. Live music entertains patrons in the Tiki & Nauti Bars, other promotions include beer tents; $1,000 Giveaway; and the Kid’s Entertainment Zone with RC boats, free bounce houses, Meet a Mermaid and more.

The show spans two marinas in the Metropark for a footprint of more

than a mile long from start to finish. The success of the show mirrors boat sales in Michigan, which have been increasing for the past eight years. Pent up demand, low interest rates, and great summer weather have fueled another successful season for the boating industry. Dealers have reported new and younger customers are buying boats, great news for our industry! Michigan is the third largest marine market in the country, with more than four million people in Michigan enjoying the sport each year. Boating is a great recreational pastime, and the Metro Boat Show is a great place to experience a day near the water among boats and boating enthusiasts!

The Metro Boat Show is produced by the Michigan Boating Industries Association (MBIA). The show, located at Lake St. Clair Metropark, will be held September 12-15, 2019. Hours: Thurs., Fri.: Noon – 7:30PM, Sat.: 11AM – 7:30PM and Sun.: 11AM – 6PM. For more information, current promotions and contest information, visit metroboatshow.net.

Admission: $10 for adults, children 12 and under free with an adult.

Parking is $10 – or free to those with a Metroparks permit.

General park information can be found at www.metroparks.com or by calling 1-800-47-PARKS. Limited transient boating.

The Metro Boat Show is sponsored by the Huron Clinton Metroparks and Great Lakes Scuttlebutt, the official publication of the Metro Boat Show.

Seasoned boaters know first-hand that weather conditions on the Great Lakes can change from pleasant to terrifying very quickly.

From dangerous lightning to high winds, thunderstorms can ruin an outing in many ways.

However, reading your local marine forecast before leaving the dock and regularly checking weather radar along the way will dramatically increase your chances of avoiding uncomfortable or dangerous conditions.

A Wide Range of Marine Weather Forecasting Products

Each day, the forecasters at your local National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office (WFO) produce a wide

range of text products designed to keep you safe on the water.

Your local WFO is also responsible for issuing marine weather watches and warnings when severe weather threatens.

There are many National Weather Service products that are important to recreational boaters:

Nearshore Marine Forecast: The wind, wave, and general forecast for waters within five nautical miles of shore.

Offshore Marine Forecast: The wind, wave, and general forecast for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore.

Area Forecast Discussion (AFD): The marine section of an AFD contains the

forecaster’s analysis of the short-term weather pattern and their reasoning behind the published forecast. It is written in plain language for recreational boaters.

Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO): A description of the potential for severe weather in the forecast area for the current and next day. It is written in plain language for the general public. In contrast to the cryptic phrase “Showers and thunderstorms likely” that regularly appears in the marine forecast during the summer, the HWO offers a detailed description of where, when, and what type of severe weather is expected.

Small Craft Advisory (SCA): While criteria vary across WFOs, this warning product is issued when wind and wave conditions are expected to be hazardous for small boat operators. When it comes to SCAs, we all operate a small craft.

Marine Weather Watch: A Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather. You should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions during a Watch.Marine Weather Warning: A Warning is issued when dangerous conditions are occurring or imminent. A Warning means immediate action is required to protect you and your passengers.

Gale Warning: sustained winds, or frequent gusts, ranging from 34 to 47 knots.

Storm Warning: sustained winds, or frequent gusts, ranging from 48 to 63 knots.

All of these products are readily available on each WFO’s home page. Many are also available on the weather band of your VHF radio, mobile apps, and SiriusXM Marine.

In addition to their suite of text products, the National Weather Service Great Lakes Portal website provides access to marine weather forecasts in a graphical format. Images showing predicted wave heights, wind speed, wind gusts, water temperature, and precipitation type are available five days into the future.

Doppler Weather Radar is Your Best Resource

The most effective resource for monitoring the location, intensity, evolution, and movement of thunderstorms is Doppler weather radar.

Doppler weather radar is a land-based technology with an effective range of 120 nautical miles.

The National Weather Service (NWS) and Environment Canada (EC) operate several Doppler weather radar stations that service the Great Lakes.

By emitting and capturing reflected energy pulses, radar stations collect a wealth of useful information about a thunderstorm, such as its overall size, height, strength, and evolution over time. In addition, by detecting the Doppler shift, the station can determine the thunderstorm’s speed and path.

Getting Weather Data While Underway

There are many websites and smartphone/tablet applications that provide access to weather observations, forecasts, and Doppler weather radar. For boaters, the challenge lies in access to this vital data when their journey takes them beyond the range of Wi-Fi and cellular internet. (Cellular internet is typically unavailable beyond five to seven nautical miles from shore.)

SiriusXM Marine overcomes the limitations of cellular internet by delivering a wide variety of weather service products such as weather radar, marine zone reports, and forecasts of wind and wave conditions directly to your boat’s multi-function display via satellite.

Overlaying reflectivity radar imagery directly on your boat’s display improves situational awareness by allowing you to view a chart, navigational aids, approaching thunderstorms, and your vessel’s location on a single zoomable image.

The SiriusXM transmission also includes cloud-to-ground lightning strikes and detailed thunderstorm attributes, such as speed and direction of movement. When a severe thunderstorm or marine weather warning is issued, the area covered by the warning and the text of the warning are also available directly on your screen. SiriusXM Marine is a good investment if monitoring the weather and avoiding an unexpected encounter with thunderstorms is your goal.

Thanks to improvements in weather forecasting products, navigational equipment, and communication technology, it has never been easier to access marine forecasts and monitor thunderstorms before and during a trip on the water.
