Sparky-(Admin) 26,104 #1 Posted June 18 Seeing rain in the forecast for Thursday/Friday/Saturday but right now it appears it’s at night or evening. That’s all good for me as I’ll be sleeping in my hotel room. I’m sure there are better weather apps than the cheesy one that came installed on my phone. What are you all seeing?

rmaynard 17,474 #2 Posted June 18 My WeatherBug forecast says 30% chance. That means 70% chance of no rain. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 47,539 #4 Posted June 18 The weather forecast will change 20 times before Thurs. Not really any point of even checking. The only thing I'm watching is where are the remnants of that tropical storm headed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in the A Z barn and saw the storm clouds coming. I got back just in time to take control of the ship! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brockport Bill 2,439 #12 Posted June 19 I suppose most are actually trained and went to school for metrology but should we assume mostly there isn't much human scientific weather analysis actually done....but likely most forecasting is done by computers? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kthack657 335 #13 Posted June 19 Well my weather app is saying only possibility of rain on Thursday, the other days are partly sunny and highs in the low 80's keeping my fingers 🤞 that this one holds...every year seems to be hot, rainy or both... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 17,474 #14 Posted June 23 (edited) Looks like things are changing a bit. Thursday looks good and Friday & Saturday are only threats of storms. Nothing new for South Mountain Fairgrounds. Edited June 23 by rmaynard 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 47,539 #15 Posted June 23 And the fairgrounds will be ground zero! @953 nut I got some new canopy stakes that drill into the ground so hopefully I won't need you for ballast! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
