Weather website?

[cpl100]

I know how to get a forecast for any city; however, I am wondering if there is a website that will show the weather along a driving route (such as to Disney ). It would be great if there was a weather equivalent to Mapquest, wouldn't it?

Maybe there is and I don't know it. I hope so!

Thanks.

Hi FloridaCat,

Thanks. I had never seen that weather site before. It's helpful to see the whole coastal weather. I just want to be sure that I didn't miss anything spiffy..... Was there a way to plug in a driving itinerary and get a detailed forecast along the way? I didn't see a place to click for that, but I am always missing out on the good stuff on the web.

Another site I'd like to add to this thread, though I don't know if it will help you or not, is http://www.weatherunderground.com

On that site you can get historical weather for specific locations. It sounds like that's not what you're looking for, but since this post is simply labeled "weather website?" I thought it might benefit others as well to be provided with this URL.

I always use it to try to predict weather patterns at WDW for whichever week I'm going, based on several years' worth of temp and rainfall data.

I don't know - maybe it will be beneficial to you! I sure hope so

I am wondering if you've found their predictions accurate or not in the past. I am going over to check the predictions for my week.
Thanks for the suggestion.Well, I could not seem to call up a history for my time in DW in a couple weeks. Is there some trick to it?

You can only look at the historic data for prior years and then based on that data estimate what the same will be for this year. They're not a prediction site - they only report history so you can make some educated guesses.

For example, for the week I'm going, I checked the his and los for the entire week for the past 10 years. I can conclude from that data that my high will be 90-94 degrees each day, and that the low will be 70-74. There has never been a low temp below 70 during the week I'll be visiting.

It's kind of a do-it-yourself-forecast site.

Does that help?

Makes perfect sense. Thanks.
