No biggie. Predictions of 30% showers don't mean much. Maybe it will rain on a given day. . .maybe it won't. . . chances are that it won't rain all day.

I can only predict a 100% chance of fun

Usually rains late, and scattered. We can still get out, drive safely, and have fun. The movie might need an alternate locale.

The forecasters are just not accurate except for the next 4 hours! We've had a little rain every year and still had fantastic MOTDs. Don't worry, be happy!

Hell, I can have almost as much fun in the wet as I can dry. Just dont bring slicks to the Dragon.

i dont live all that far from the dragon. The weather is inconsistant as heck around here. I think it's from the wind/weather bouncing off the mountains. The weathermen and forcasts are usually fairly wrong. Long story short don't believe everything you hear. I'd bet it's overcast a bit and rains for a few short spirts like 1-2 hours here and there. Nothing to worry about.

The folks here at Fontana Village Resort said the weather predictions are rarely "spot on" and we could simply see clouds with a touch of rain here and there. In the meantime, it is incredibly beautiful here right now!

Hmmm... 30% chance of rain... doesn't that mean 70% chance of something else?

As others have said, don't sweat the weather. Rain or shine, you can only have as much fun as you let yourself....I'm going to have TONS of fun once again this year!

It rained within 30 minutes of the panoramic photo, and there were still tons of Minis on the Dragon. Just gotta hold back a bit, but still quite fun.
