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 Monday pm, October 31, 2016
:mpumpkin:Happy Halloween!:jack:
It certainly doesn't feel very fall-like today with a high around 85, but a change is coming later in the week. No rain through at least Thursday. Highs for tomorrow through Thursday will stay 83-85. On Friday a front will move through and some light rain is possible, but there won't be any heavy or long-lasting showers. The high on Friday will be around 80 and dropping once the front passes. Saturday through Monday looks dry with a high 73-75 on Saturday, 75-77 on Sunday, and 78-80 on Monday.
Long range...Nov 8-16 currently looks dry but all the models are indicating a pattern flip by mid-November that could mean a cooler and wetter latter half of the month. Highs should stay around 80 for Nov 8-12 then mid 70s for Nov 13-15 and mid 60s for Nov 16.
Travel Issues :drive::plane:
No major issues today or tomorrow.
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:
Hurricane season continues for another month but all is quiet for the foreseeable future. The only thing of interest is a "medicane" - a large storm with tropical-storm like features in the Mediterranean Sea - which is impacting some of the Greek Isles today and is headed east.
