My Lightning Tracker will tell you the distance to nearest strike. When it gets to 10 miles they shut down Skyliner and outdoor rides.

I'm with @burfe with ponchos and rain/sun umbrella. Saved us many times in summer afternoons on both fronts.
No raincoats. Too big/bulky.

I haven't tried it yet but Disney and AccuWeather just announced "Disney Weather Check" in the AccuWeather app. Supposed to be very precise so that's my plan in two weeks.

We've done a combo of things this trip. On days when the rain chance was highest, we've taken light raincoats in our park bags. Other days we've had ponchos and umbrellas. I use about every weather app and website there is; none of them agree usually.

Great tip @catherine! I have good ponchos that were recommended here and work great in a real downpair. Light rain I have a sun/rain umbrella

Nice tip @catherine! We use disposable ponchos.

Yep, for most trips I carry 1 or 2 dispo ponchos from the Walmart pack of 10. They do the job for most Florida transient cloudbursts. If I expect all-day rain I have a couple more substantial fabric ponchos.

When I'm getting obsessive about weather on an upcoming trip I check AccuWeather Daily/45-day forecast. Completely unreliable outside of 10 days, but it gives me an idea of how to pack.

@vikequeen what ponchos are they?

@ali I find most forecast ls unreliable even 48 hours out especially Florida showers.

I bring disposable ponchos and my Saphi rose ponchos in case of heavy rain. Saphi rose's only come to the park if an inch or more is a certainty. Also, we use quick-dry Teva sandals if rain is a certainty.

I'm a meteorologist. My uncle was a pretty well known One as well. His favorite line was "Never trust a meteorologist who tells you what the weather will be more than 3 days out!" Model error compounds the farther out you go! And...it's hard to do......
