Mountain forecasts are frequently unreliable and subject to great errors, particularly when forecasted days in advance. Use the following guidelines for mountain forecasts:
20%, 30% or 40% chance of rain could mean rain 50 miles away elsewhere in the mountain chain and no rain at all at Buffalo Gap or 1/2 hour of rain and 20 hours of sunshine mixed with clouds.
60%, 70% chance of rain does mean that there will possibly be an hour or two of rain and perhaps cloudy conditions, however, frequent sunshine can appear as well and on many occasions, 70% chance of rain resulted in all day sunshine (weather man was wrong).
100% chance of rain does mean, more than likely, lots of rain and clouds for the day, especially during
hurricane season and possibly early spring. Summer -- rains never lasts long.
Forget the forecasts and just come to Buffalo Gap -- you won't regret it and we'll still have roaring bon-fires dispite any weather forecast. Rain has never yet stopped a bon-fire.
