When I look for a day a week or so in advance, I'm happy if it says rain.
Given the accuracy of long range forecasting, it assures a good sunny day.

I often use the archives/almanac of a local TV station's website to
see what happened on a certain date for the past 5 or 6 years. It's
been terrifically accurate and allowed me to schedule things like new
carpeting, outdoor work, outdoor parties, etc., for days with no bad
weather.

I use weathernetwork and find that the short range forecast is usually
pretty accurate. The long range forecast (7 day) is a scrap shoot. It
is amazing how the forecast for that 7th day gets modified as it gets
closer.

You think that's fun, that's the weekend I do to the Indy 500! We all
missed the race one year when they had to push it all the way back to
Tues, because it was rained out Sun and Mon both!! :-( But I've seen
other Indy 500's which were cool and rainy, sunny and hot, sometimes
pushed back to Monday, sometimes start and stop because of rain
through either day. Once we got tired of waiting for the green flag to
go back up and walked all the way back to the cars and were having
beers when we heard the unmistakable ROAR of 200+ MPH Indy cars from a
distance!! We high-tailed it back up to the track and saw the finish
of that race! Yay!

Springtime in the Midwest, gotta love it! Funny part is the next week
is almost always clear sunny and hot!

In Texas, there is never a day under 10% CoP.

(so this means is REALLY going to rain next Friday)

We're having a dead end garage sale next Saturday.
