How To Read DRYDAY Weather Forecasts


These weather forecasts are designed to increase your odds when choosing a date(s) for an event without rain/snow.   DRYDAY® weather forecasts are never updated or changed making them ideal for long-range planning.

DRYDAY days (Plan your weather sensitive activites on these days)
If your activity is going to be more than one day (one week for example), look for the longest number of consecutive dryday days.   If the month is mostly risky days, choose a group of bars with the lowest percentage of risk.
RISKY days
If rain/snow does fall in the month, most of it will fall on the risky days.  These are not rain (or snow) forecasts , but weak spots in the month which would more easily allow passage of a storm through the area.  In no way do they predict rain or snow.
TRANSITION days
These days remind the user to try to avoid RISKY days by more than 24 hours whenever possible.  Planning a minimum of 24 hours away from RISKY days has been shown to maximize the forecast accuracy.
Bar Height
The height of the bars represents the percentage risk associated with each day.  In general, the lower the percentage risk, the more likely a day will be dry.
Remember, no weather forecast is 100% perfect, but if used regularly to plan weather sensitive activities, you will experience a significant advantage.
