Weather at the Dragon

Things don't seem to be looking to good for next weekend.

Check out the extended forecast for the Dragon here.

For those that dont want to click the link: Wednesday the 2nd - Tuesday the 8th scattered Thunderstorms everyday.

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.

hmmm... 30% chance of rain... sounds like it will just be cloudy. cloudy skies make for even light. even light makes for good pictures. Yay killboy.com!

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!

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!

Last two years we had rains and sunshine aplenty on each day. No problems. Bring it on!

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

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.
