« Thread Started on May 19, 2009, 2:30pm » | |
 I have been checking the forcast on the king 5 website for seattle (most accurate and conservative forcasts) for about a week now and dam, It looks like were in for a perfect memorial day weekend Sunshine, warm weather and blue sky sounds pretty nice about right now. It looks as if everyday will be easily in the 80s with the exception of monday in which upper 70s forcasted for Downtown Seattle which is like what...95 gorge temp  Im preparing for 4 days in the sun.. Sunscreen, water, shade, ice, and money for 12 dollar beers.... Be sure to bring plenty of all.

Its looking real good. The forecast on Intellicast.com, which I think is generally more accurate than weather.com shows:
Friday - High 84, Low 51 Sunny
Sat - High 87, Low 52 Sunny
Sun - High 88, Low 52 Sunny
Mon - High 89, Low 53 Sunny
Thats about as good as it can be. Hopefully, this will hold form.

For those of us in Canada, take those temperatures ,minus 32 and divide by 1.8 = Hot enough to melt my igloo .

Some weather sites do 15 day forecasts, and since we are within 15 days, I Dr. Garbanzoured I would get you excited (to eventually shoot down your hopes when the weather shifts drastically).
Friday, May 28th - Mostly Sunny, High 82, Low 55
Saturday, May 29th - Mostly Sunny, High 85, Low 58

forecasts 2 weeks in advance are so unreliable, but it's probably a good bet that it'll be sunny at the gorge. hopefully not 95 degrees every day like last year though. about 10 degrees cooler would be perfect for most people.

I like the fact that we are within the 15-day forecast, but agree that weather is too unpredictable to take those predictions seriously. If you don't plan for all reasonable weather scenarios then you could very easily be caught unprepared. The infamous hail storm a couple years back is a perfect example. A 99 cent vinyl poncho saved my and my girlfriend's asses that year. We stayed dry hunkered down on the hill while everyone ran around like like mad looking for shelter. It was hilarious to watch, and also awesome that after it was over we had one of the few dry pieces of earth to sit on.
My point is: no matter what the forecast is, prepare for heat, cold, wind, and rain, and hope for the best!

Yeah, if you're worried about the weather then you've picked the wrong place to stay.

If it's anything like last year, our igloos won't stand a chance.

It depends. If you bring a yurt, you are probably correct, but even if it is not hot, you may have to worry about the wind blowing your igloo away rather than the sun melting it.
If you bring something more sturdy, like a wikiups, you'll be protected against the sun and wind all weekend. You'll also be much cooler than the rest of us (you might make extra friends too).
