I'll update this first post each day with the forecast (though I'll occasionally miss a day), 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 - Update Saturday pm, November 30, 2013
Today has turned out very nice with a high of 75. Tomorrow will be 77-78 and sunny. Monday could see scattered showers develop ahead of a front. The high will be 73-75 and will drop as the front passes. It looks like the best rain chance will be early Monday morning and impact on the parks should be minimal. Tuesday through Saturday looks dry with highs 73-75 on Tuesday and then 77-79 for Wednesday and Thursday and up to 80-82 for Friday and Saturday.
Long range...Dec 8 looks dry with a high around 80, but then rain moves in with a front on Dec 9. Dec 10 clears with a high in the mid 70s but then a significant rain event moves in on Dec 11. Now, I'm skeptical about everything in voodooland, but that Dec 11 event I'm more so than usual. It looks like it comes from no where. I expect it to be gone on the next run or two. Dec 12-16 looks mostly dry with highs in the upper 70s.

Any of you who are nervous about flying, especially related to turbulence, go here (http://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/Turbulent-air-travel-nothing-to-fear-4058671.php) and here (http://www.askcaptainlim.com/-fear-of-flying-flying-48.html) to learn a lot about turbulence and other issues that sometimes cause anxiety when flying. Hopefully all of this will help you relax and enjoy the trip to WDW more!
Tropics :fan:
The 2013 hurricane season ends today with nothing on the boards. This season will go down as the 14th quietest since 1851 with an ACE of 30. Definitely a hugely blown forecast by the those in the spring predicting a huge season but it goes to what I say constantly, which is a large amount of humility is required in this business and long range forecasts are just worthless.
