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 Wednesday pm, March 30, 2016
WDW is looking at a high of 82-83 today with mostly sunny skies. Tomorrow and Friday looks mostly okay for WDW. Scattered thunderstorms are possible, but no major rain. The high tomorrow will be around 85 then 88-90 for Friday. The front has slowed down enough that the temps should soar and that will give extra instability for the afternoon thunderstorms to pop. Saturday the front finally starts to move in. The high will be 82-84 with showers and thunderstorms becoming likely by afternoon. Sunday things should clear up pretty quickly with a high 75-77. It's not out of the question for a stray shower to still be around in the morning, depending upon how quickly the front moves through, but conditions should be mostly dry. Monday through Wednesday should all be dry with a high of 75-77 on Monday, 78-80 on Tuesday and 82-84 on Wednesday.
Long range...April 7-8 look dry with highs in the mid 80s. Showers come in on April 9 with a front. April 10-12 is dry with highs in the low to mid 80s then strong thunderstorms arrive on April 13. April 14-15 dry out with highs in the upper 70s.
Travel Issues :drive::plane:
Let me say the whole point of this blog is to focus on the weather at WDW and potential impacts getting there so I don't spend much time on anywhere else, but I do have a Facebook page entitled "Methodist Meteorologist" so if you want more detailed weather analysis for the rest of the country, you can like that page and always feel free to ask if you have questions about your specific location. For today, we have delays in Dallas today due to thunderstorms. For tomorrow, the SPC has an enhanced (level 3) risk over pretty much all but the most southern part of MS and a slight (level 2) risk over AL, western TN and KY and the southern most part of IN. The marginal threat (level 1) for tomorrow covers the FL panhandle, all of GA, SC, NC, eastern TN and KY, Oh, IL, IN, LA, and AR.
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!
