[inline "BAD DAY AHEAD.jpg"][cool][#0000ff]I have lost track of how many times I have planned a trip based upon weather forecasts...and have found the complete opposite of the forecast when I got to my fishin' spot. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, I just got this pic that kinda lets you know that maybe you should forget about it for the day.[/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]I also have a weather rock. But, I call it an anglers' weather rock. Much more accurate than the forecasts on TV or in the paper. I can check a half dozen of those for the same day and they are all different...and most of them are wrong.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Wouldn't it be great to have a job in which you could be wrong most of the time and still keep your job?[/#0000ff]

I can tell you exactly what the weather will do this weekend.....I spent four hours washing and waxing my boat last night so I could drag it up to Fontenelle.
It will rain and snow all weekend.... [cool]

Ain't that the truth Pat, Seems like the weather monkeys are anything but right! Down in Florida, they took the easy way out and just said there is a 50% chance of rain! That makes them right either way!

[cool][#0000ff]I used to love George Carlin's Hippy Dippy Weatherman. "Tonight, we will see periods of darkness."[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]When someone asks me for MY forecast, I always say "Fair and sunny with occasional heavy downpours."[/#0000ff]

[laugh]LOL!
You hit thy mighty sledge hammer right on thy nail Mr Tube!
It seems that weather forecasting is about as accurate as psychic palm reading or fortune telling.
I hate Utah weather prediction big time. It gets on my nerves. I always go to KSL weather to see the forecast and its always always always always always changes. Everyday you see the weather from a high of 66 on Wednesday. Then a high of 59 on Wednesday; then a high of 55! Its like dudes make up your mind or consider getting some new weather-predicting devices.
When I go fishing I usually put faith in the forecast though.
If they say sunny I'll believe it. But wind you never know 'till you get there.
"Today a high of around 99 with wind gust up to 30 miles an hour. Fair to partly cloudy skies with a chance of precipitation of around 30 percent."
So basically there is a 70 percent chance of sunny skies!!!! LOL!
So here we go:
"Today a 70 percent chance of sunny skies. Look for afternoon highs around 88 degrees. Wind gust to 30 mph and a slight chance of showers."
If you are a skilled comedian certainly weather forecast are good fodder for your jokes."

I never rely on the forecast. I also always look at the radar right before I go. Many times you can adjust were you go and still get some good fishing in. Most of the weather websites have it available.
