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. Without further delay, let's get to the forecast:
Weather at WDW - Update Saturday pm, November 29, 2014
Today has been near perfect with the high hitting 70. I'm off to WDW tomorrow and it looks like some good weather ahead. In the upper atmosphere, we have a nearly zonal flow in place with the main storm track displaced well north for this time of year. This will keep WDW in generally good weather for the week ahead with temperatures slightly warmer than we usually see for late November. Tomorrow's high should be 75 then 75-77 for Monday through Saturday with clear skies and only a very minimal chance of a brief pop up shower. Right now it looks like any rain that did pop up would be more along the coast.
Long range...Dec 7-15 looks pretty dry a couple of fronts try to push southward, and still may since this is voodooland, but for now it looks like they'll wash out before getting to Orlando. Temps for Dec 7-11 will be near 80, then closer to 70 for Dec 12-15. The idea on the table of the really cold air that we saw yesterday is gone today. But, again, take everything in voodooland with a grain of salt because it'll all change again. Especially this time of the year.
Travel Issues:drive:
No major issues for the next couple of days.
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!

The season is over as far as I can tell.
