weather forecast for national

I use online weather services religiously, but I'ver never attempted to determine how useful they are for predicting the local weather more than 2-3 days in advance. Well, let's see how Intellicast does on this one
As of Tuesday, June 3 the weather predicted for Eureka Springs during the national meet is as follows:
Tuesday June 10: partly cloudy, high 87 degrees F
Wednesday June 11: scattered thunderstorms, high 86
Thursday June 12: partly cloudy, high 83
No prediction for Friday yet.

Yeah, but when it turns 50 F, you are all BBQing in shorts and stuff. Thats like winter weather down here.

It's called "typical summer forecast," or in meteo-speak, "Overdeveloping."
Cool and sunny in the morning, hot and sunny by early afternoon...cumulus clouds developing into cumulus congestus...then cu-nimbs...then BOOM! Thunder, lightning, and rain...for about a half-hour...then the sun comes back out and it's muggy and steamy as hell...then cools off at dark.
Next day: repeat.
Next day: repeat.
Next day: repeat.

Isolated thunderstorms are easy - you just look at the radar on your web-enabled phone, see where they are, and go in a different direction.
Um... data service IS available out in the middle of the Ozark foothills, isn't it?

Accuweather says no rain, highs mid to upper 80s all week.
Which of course means it'll be raining cats 'n' dogs.

My vote is for the accuweather forecast which looks much better! Vented gear, shades and water bottles is all that should be necessary. I'm leaving the rain gear at home!

Don't know about other places...but in the Mid-Atlantic it's gonna be in the
90s
for like the next 3-4 days! (Ugh...) I'll definitely be sucking on the Camelback all day.

After a week of nasty thunderstorms and tornados thoughout the KY and MO area, it looks like I'll have a dry ride down. But it's going to be HOT!!!

Hot? yeah... I have read that.... too bad my new jacket won't be here in time to wear.
Oh well... I have wore what I am bring in 100 degree heat in Wisconsin.
I guess I should just bring along shorts, tank top and flipflops as a fall back.

Yes, I know that the Accuweather forecast looks better than does the Intellicast one, but do you want to see the more optimistic forecast or do you want to see the more realistic one? Based on the combination of forecasts, it looks like mid-to-high 80's all week with a chance for thunderstorms each day between Tuesday and Friday.
I have been hammered by thunderstorms during every long MC ride I have taken over the last six years. I would just like to take ONE long ride in dry weather. Consequently, my departure date WILL be influenced by the weather forecast. I know, what a freakin whimp!
See you all Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the weather.
Is anybody bringing local beers from home?
