Please.

Starting to get really concerned looking at the weather starting 12 Aug.
 
There are so many. Might be easier to list ones that aren't storm friendly...

MK - 7DMT, BTMRR, Splash, Tomorrowland Speedway, Astro Orbiter, Carousel (not CoP, the actual carousel), parades/fireworks/shows in front of the castle, probably missing one more

Epcot - TT

HS - ?? Maybe Indiana Jones, but not sure. Everything else is indoors that I can think of. Does ToT shut down because of how high it is? Don't think so, but not sure.

AK - This may be the most effected, as a lot of it's things are outdoors. Everest, Kali, Safari, Primeval Whirl, etc...

I'm sure others will chime in with things I missed, as I'm doing this quickly off the top of my head. Don't worry, you'll still have a decent choice of things to do. Just be prepared for longer lines, because there are more people and less open rides...though some people just leave when it rains. Also, this time of year, they may predict rain every day, but it'll be sunny from 8am to 2pm, then storm like crazy until 4pm, then clear back out. My experience with Disney summer weather is that it's not really often where you get a complete wash out of a day.
 
They shut down Indiana Jones if there is lightening and all the outside rides get shut down as well. I think they may even shut down some of the inside rides. As Klayfish pointed out, you really can't look at the weather forecast. Summer and early fall just know it will be hot, humid and most likely an afternoon shower. The shower could be a quick 10 min here and gone, a 30 min. gully washer and gone or a 2 hour rain. Never know. It could be raining at MK and not at AK, it could be raining at the front half of MK and not the back. It's a crap shoot. Just take a poncho and be a kid again and splash in puddles, it's what I do.
 
While it is good to have these plans available, keep in mind rain predictions outside of 3 days gets progressively worse and a 10-day forecast is basically worthless. This Spring 60 degree weather was predicted on a day we ended up getting nearly a foot of snow. Keep an eye on it, but everything is subject to change with weather, for better or worse.

Thank you for assuaging my fears! The weather prediction is awfully discouraging.

Thanks for a clarification on weather predictions
 
There are a few other affected rides at MK, such as Jungle Cruise and Dumbo. Also Tom Sawyer Island.
 
Tower of Terror in a storm would be awesome! :D Imagine the doors opening at the top and you are met with wind and rain in your face. And then imagine the action picture :)
 
I had ten days to prepare for a trip to Disney World. I had to get annual passes, make FastPass reservations, get a hotel room, and all. I managed it and then started to look at the weather. And it changed every single day. We just went with ponchos and sunscreen and did whatever we could do when we could do it and had a great time.
