The USA today Weather book is a good one.
Lots of graphics and understandable for the average person.
US Power Squadron also offers a good Wx course...largely based on the USA today book and other boating related topics.

Some friends are advising me on different aspects of the boat we are building. One of them said "and what are you doing for a liferaft?"
I replied that I wasn't going to get one until the first year we cruise to Alaska. That in WA/BC waters we aren't ever that far from land and surely we could make use of our tender. He was not impressed and told me to read a few books like this one:

Just finished it last night. Oy vey. Good for us to see what has happened to some other unfortunate (or poor planning) folks.
