Weather.com and Packing

[PatsGirl]

Has anyone used weatherbug.com or weather.com 10-day forecast for packing purposes? I've been packing all weekend and oops! there's no more room but a whole stack of clothing left to fit in. Usually I'm a light packer but because of the time of year I've packed a few extra warm items.

Can I use these websites with any accuracy?

At the 10 mark is still isn't real accurate. A great local Orlando station is www.wftv.com Check that site as it gets closer.

Thanks safetymom I'll do that. I'm thinking I'll check the 10-day the day before we leave and gauge a little better then. It would be REAL nice to be able to pull the extra sweatshirts and jeans out of the suitcase. I'll be wearing one warm outfit down there so...

As much as you can trust any long-term forecast in a part of the country that gets all kinds of weather.
(Which is not TOO much trust.)

When we go to WDW in the cooler months, we pack shorts and Tees... all the way up to long-underwear, gym warm-ups and heavy jackets (many times worn in combination). Don't forget hats and/or earmuffs (we get plenty of folks on a cold day asking where they can buy earmuffs).

We start out with jackets in the AM (put in lockers when it warms up) and then add layers until "toasty" for even a chilly IllumiNations, Wishes, etc.

You just never can tell about weather.
I always LOOK at weather.com, but I don't EVER trust ANY form of weather-casting.
And, I will not let an "unexpected" spate of weather to ruin our fun.

Maybe you could buy another soft-sider suitcase to pack the extras... it COULD save your trip.
