While looking for an answer to Tood's question, I found a weather site that might be of
interest to some. It is a forecast of "dry days" for planning purposes.

Something tells me that Tood already has the avoidance of "dry days" down, like a science. "Risky days" ... LMAO. Anyway, that is indeed an interesting link.

Arthur: thanks for that link, it gave me a great laugh! Ive seen a few con artists like this pop up now and then, and this one is a real winner. I always go straight to the part of site where they answer the inevitable question of how they produce their magical results:
Our weather forecast system uses very exact calculations of a number of forces that have been proven, by extensive testing, to be acting upon our weather at an exact date in the future, at an exact location on the earth. Because these weather forecast values are actually going to happen in the future they will not change and can be relied upon at an exact time in the future. Because of the above methodology, the potential accuracy of our DRYDAY® weather forecasts never lessens with time. A forecast for a day 6 months out has the same potential accuracy as the forecast for tomorrow.
Ha! Well at least they got the last part right--their forecasts for tomorrow are equally as worthless as their ones 6 months from now! This is complete nonsense, folks. If they could do what they claim they can do, they would already be Nobel Prize winners and multi-billionaires since it would turn science as we know it upside down. Please do not fall for this crap.

It will be interesting to see if this September forecast from the OP holds true as the end of the month approaches.
