Right now it looks like the heaviest rain will be morning and early afternoon. I think things will begin to clear by 4 pm so you should be okay.

Well, basically the models have shifted the storm northward. It's still there, but the majority of the models I trust are showing the rain staying north of Orlando. I'll keep watching to see if it shifts back south, but there's good consensus on that northern track for now.

Hey Chris! Does it still look about the same for the week of 3/15? We are driving from Houston today to ocala and checking in to WDW on 3/15. Thanks for all you do!

I am three weeks away from our trip. I already took clothes out, and I have mostly tank tops and shorts picked out. Am I dreaming?? I never thought we'd have to consider chilly weather in April.

I think by April we should be seeing more seasonable temps - highs around to 80, but you might want to have a sweater and/or long pants for the evenings. It's possible they will be cool. That's what the long range data is pointing towards, anyway.

Wish I could, but I'm just in public relations, not management. I'll be glad to send a memo to the Boss for you though! ![Mickey](images/smilies/mickey.gif)
Don't worry too much about the storms right now. We're in an active pattern, so I think you'll see one or two rain chances during that time, but these systems are generally moving pretty quick, so you might see 3-4 hours of rain as opposed to all day. The good news is that since you're going during one of the more crowded times, the rain tends to keep crowds away and you might get to enjoy more rides. Just throw on a poncho and go for it!

I just checked Accuweather for our upcoming dates of March 27 to April 3. They are forecasting through April 2. Shows no rain and decent temps. How much can I trust this now?
Thanks!

Wow! It absolutely poared today! I mean cats and dogs! It started sprinkling around 1:00 or so. Then it became light rain around 1:30. No big deal - no need for ponchos. We got on Buzz Lightyear. About 30 minutes later, when we exited, it was a torrential downpoar.
We did Carousel of Progress, hoping it would lighten up. No such luck. We finally headed back to the POR with the rest of creation. Rain was done by 5:00. By 6:00 the sun was trying to poke through the clouds. Hopefully we are finished with rain for the week!

Until at least Friday you should be good. There is a possibility of some light showers reforming overnight, but anything that does form should be light and not too big of a deal. Those chances will by mid-morning. Sorry about missing the day with Sunday instead of Monday!

Oh weather Guru...we are going to be at WDW next week. We are going to Typhoon lagoon on Mon(5th) or on Tues.(6th). Which looks to be the better day, as in sunny or sunnier and warmer temps?

I think I would pick 4/6. The 5th might be fine, but that's the day where it's uncertain as to the rain chances, so I definitely think the 6th would be the safer bet right now.
