Each day in February, 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. If you want to see the exact conditions for your travel dates over the last few years, go to our historic weather page in Info Central here (http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/weather/dailytemps.asp). Without further delay, let's get to the forecast:
Weather at WDW - Updated Monday pm, February 28, 2011
Today is going to hit 85 for a high, but things will back down tomorrow to around 75-77 with the potential for rain and thunderstorms. Definitely not an all day rain, but be prepared. Wednesday will be 74-76 then 71-73 for the high on Thursday with lows 52-54 both days. Friday and Saturday will be 76-78 with a slight chance of an isolated shower. Most of the rain that pops up will be along the coast, but it's not out of the question for one to drift inland. Sunday will be 73-75 with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. That timing is not set yet, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it come through in the morning given the general pattern right now. Monday will clear out with a high around 75.
Long range...March 8-10 looks nice with highs around 80. The next chance of thunderstorms arrives March 11. March 12 will be near 70 for a low, but back up to near 80 for March 13. March 14-16 should see highs in the low 80s.
Travel Impact :plane: :truck: :drive:
At 2:15 pm CST, Boston, Philadelphia, and NYC are all delays. AL, GA, and TN will see delays later today. No major delays tomorrow unless Chicago has something due to winds.
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!
