Weather question

We are getting married next weekend, and I just looked at the weather for the entire week we'll be there (15th - 22nd), and it indicates rain everyday. Some days its just scattered showers, but some days, it says showers....and about 60% chance everyday.
How likely is it that it will rain all day/everyday?

My guess would be that there is 60% chance, based on that forecast.

I just looked at my weather vien and it was pointed north which indicates about a 60% chance of showers. The Biometrics also show it to be warm and muggy on those dates..But It also shows a 40% chance of Sun..So I would risk it and just have fun....

of course...i'm 20 minutes from PDC so that could explain it
i wouldn't change your plans

i would tell you more but some people here would jump all over me again
and i'm not in the mood to hear it

EDIT: Nice. For once, I'm not the smartass. But don't get used to it.

Thanks for your help! We've been there once before, which was 4 years ago, and it rained slightly one day. I was thinking that that was the norm for the area, but just wanted to make sure.

I wouldn't worry about the forecasts, just focus on having a nice wedding and you'll probably find that things work out fine. Mine here was really nice and we had iffy forecasts as well.

Rain here passes in patches since it's humid much of the year and conditions can often support it, but it normally doesn't last long if it does.

The weather here is quite variable. The weather forecasts shed very little light on what actually happens. They'll call for 7 days of clouds and we'll have a great week.
We understand that you want nice weather, everyone does. Luckily, it's mostly nice here. No one can tell you what next week has in store for you.
