My daughter’s wedding day is Saturday, June 27. She decided on an outdoor wedding, so I am naturally concerned about the weather that day. Will it rain? Will we swelter? The purpose of this post is to record the weather forecasts for June 27, on a daily basis leading up to the wedding, and compare them to what actually transpires that day here in Asheville. Are long-term forecasts worth their weight in pixels? Let’s find out.
Here is the series of forecasts for June 27 that have been posted on the weather.com site, starting June 14. I will update this table every day with the latest forecast, so keep checking this post. [Rest easy, my subscribers, you will not be notified of each update.] On June 28, the day after the wedding, I will post the actual high temperature (hopefully tolerable) and precipitation (hopefully none) that we experienced that day, and maybe make a comment or two about weather forecasting.

My daughter’s wedding was on June 16 and here in Florida it gets real hot so I was sweating so much outside during the ceremony that while I was walking her down the isle the sweat was pouring into my eyes and everyone was saying “awww” assuming I was crying. I briefly thought about correcting them but that would have not gone down well with my daughter.
Craig was so very talented in his art and writing that I was always impressed. He had a spoof of Reader’s Digest called Readers Disgust. Not that good at baseball though.
Correction it was May 16th.
Sue keeps telling me I can see photos on this blog but where Craig?
