Each day in July, I'll update this first post with the forecast, both long and short term. As a general rule, up to 7 days is a pretty accurate forecast, beyond that it's educated guessing and largely dependent upon how well the models are doing at that moment, which is why I call it "voodooland." If you have any specific weather questions or comments, even if it's for an area other than WDW, please post and I'll answer throughout the thread. I'll also post weather tidbits every so often. Without further delay, let's get to the forecast:
Weather at WDW - Updated Friday am, July 31, 2009
Hot and steamy today with a high 91-93, but with the high humidity the heat index will be around 100. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms will fire up along the sea breeze and with all the moisture in the air any downpours will be extremely heavy. That pretty much describes the forecast through next Wednesday. Exact same forecast each day. Now, Thursday and Friday the rain chances look a little higher and the highs will be a degree or two lower - 90-92.
Long range...August 8-15 looks to continue the same general trend. Highs in the low 90s with isolated afternoon thunderstorms each day. Humidity will remain high so expect the heat index to stay around 100.
Travel Impact :plane: :truck: :drive:
At 7:15 am CDT, Atlanta is facing delays due to thunderstorms, then low clouds are causing delays at Baltimore, Dulles, Newark, JFK, La Guardia, and Philly. For tomorrow, once again, DC to Boston could see delays then across MS, AL, and GA.
Any of you who are nervous about flying, especially related to turbulence, go here (http://homepage.mac.com/lesposen/iblog/B80495344/C2128971884/E162746321/index.html) and here (http://homepage.mac.com/lesposen/iblog/B80495344/C2128971884/index.html) to learn a lot about turbulence. Those two articles should be very helpful in allowing you to understand turbulence and flight safety when it hits. Hopefully all of this will help you relax and enjoy the trip to WDW more!
Tropics :fan:
No sign of any tropical storm formation across the Atlantic basin through early next week.
