Lune-I have belayed to the wind in the summer BW for years. East winds I equate to rain/storms-esp. if they are following a day or two of south and southeast winds. Think about the rotation of Lows and Highs. For me the barometer is more attached to the immediate-with weather and esp. fishing. Also clouds-IE mares tails are a good indicator of coming moisture....I have not tried the radio thing yet maybe someday. I wish I had some good links for you for forcasting weather through cloud formations and wind direction-I received this info from vet. guides. Hope it helps.
