  1. The weather service can be wrong. The trouble is that

    despite all attempts to predict the weather weather forecasts can only be accurate 24 hours in advance if that. After that is a case of probabilities. ie 50 per cent chance of this and

    70 per cent chance of that. For instance my area was predicted to have a really hot spring. It has turned out to be record breaking COLD. Believe me I would never bet on the

    accuracy of the weatherperson!


  2. Weather services are rarely wrong as they assess the weather conditions through satellites. The only probability of weather change is by reversal of direction of winds blowing over the area.

  3. Yes, they could be wrong. The weather channel is not the most reliable source around. The National Weather Service has the forecasts you need to pay attention to.

    According to the NWS, Sunday holds a 40% chance of t-storms. If a thunderstorm happens, then the park would be closed, or at least Water Harbor along with many of the rides. I think prayer would help you a lot. Beg the good Lord to make the day work out for you.
