should i be concerned? my sons birthday is saturday may 1st, im doing his birthday outdoors and i looked up the weather on that day and it said scattered t-storms. does that mean its going to rain on that day? should i change my plans?
Sounds like you read the Old Farmers Almanac. They do have a time-tested knack for zeroing in on long-term weather trends and breaking them down week-by-week.
But, the editors of the OFL will be the first to tell you that you can not rely on their forecasts for a specific prediction at a certain place at a certain time.
Besides, even if your weather service calls for scattered thunderstorms, that does not mean that it will rain all day, all of the time. When it gets down to the middle of the last week in April, all of you will have a better handle on it. If it looks then like it might rain, just have a "Plan B" that you can go with on short notice.
BTW, happy birthday to your son. It so happens that May 1 is Derby Day (as you can tell, I live in Kentucky). And, my birthday is in May, too!
