How Accurate?

Kimberly S ( formerly Kimberly L ), on May 29, 2012 at 10:51 AM Posted in Planning 0 9

If you stalked the weather and checked the 10 day or 14 day forecasts prior to your wedding, how accurate was it? My forecast is predicting rain & we had planned for an outdoor ceremony.

    Accuracy is a difficult question that far away. Do you have a "Plan B"?

    My weather changed soooooooo much the entire 10 days leading up to our wedding. It went back and forth between partly cloudy and scattered showers/isolated thunderstorms. Even just the couple days before the wedding, it was flip flopping a lot.

    We ended up having perfect weather (mid 70s, cloudy to diffuse the sun at our 12:00 ceremony, gorgeous breeze), but I totally stressed myself out by stalking the weather and it constantly changing.

    Fingers crossed you have a gorgeous day!

    Yes you'll need aplan B which I'm sure you have! I would say don't start looking at the weather and getting that plan B in effect until a few days before maybe 2 days. The weather can change so quickly, I wold not stress yet.

    I chose not to check it out. I knew I had no control over it, so I figured why stress myself out.

    10-14 days out they said the tuesday before my wedding might have a chance of a little snow. The actual Tuesday before the wedding was a bloody blizzard which shut the airport for 24 hours.

    Generally speaking, weather is a crap shoot. Unless they are warning of a hurricane, anything smaller they are almost always wrong on.

    I didn't check the weather till the day before and it was supposed to rain ALL day. It was gloomy in the morning then cleared up and the sun came out and it was about 70 in March in Philly so I dont trust the weather at all

    I'm not going to be checking the weather until maybe a couple days before. I agree with Carole M, either way you cannot control it, so why bother stressing about it? I also agree that unless they are calling for some kind of crazy storm, like a hurricane, that usually the weather reports aren't that accurate anyway. This past weekend they were calling for rain Friday-Monday here and it only rained for like an hour on Saturday. The rest of the weekend was beautiful.
