Anyone know of an extended forecast web site ?

I would really like to know what the weather will be at WDW Sept 6th to 10th. I know they may not be right that far ahead of time but it would be fun to see what it says. Especially if it could tell me of any approaching hurricanes.

I would look at www.noaa.gov Put in the zip code of use the map on the middle right to find the location on the map.

It gives a very good 7 day forecast. It will have a Latest Tropical Weather link near the bottom of the page with a bunch of links. This is about the best you can do.

A hurricane starts far from the carribbean. 4 or 5 days later it is close to land and can switch direction several times and move very fast or slow. They can only guess a probability of hurricanes 30 days out and have little to know where one would go if it develops.

It really best to look at that 7 day forecast right before your trip.

Try accuweather.com. you can get a 15 day forcast. You can also click on "month' and get a historical average for each day. Sept's historic temp averages are here:

http://www.accuweather.com/us/fl/orlando/32801/forecast-month.asp?mnyr=9-01-2010&view=table

At the bottom there is a temp graph for Sept 2010.

I've been watching the weather too. www.weather.com gives a 10 day forecast. Just remember this.....the weather seems to always be changing there. We've been there and had a severe thunderstorm forecast and didn't see a drop of rain. So far so good for hurricanes in the next week or so!

Have a great trip!!

I follow hurricanes as a hobby and use this site

http://www.storm2k.org

to track hurricane activity.

they talk about potential storms in the "Talking Tropics" forum.

And they discuss hurricane/Tropical Storm movement in the "Active Storms" forum.

Lots of professional Met types and lots of really good amatuer trackers ta boot.

Enjoy.

Don;t get worried...something odd has been going on in the tropics this year, and the forecast of an Over active Storm season is busting something fierce.
