I just checked the radar for the last time before I pack up and leave..looks like the trailing edge of this giant storm will pass Bradenton around 5:30 am and continue east...there is no rain showing after that...the rest of the day shows the humidity DROPPING every hour from 9 am on..see y'all soon .. :D :D :D

Re: Corvette Challenge weather update (My 95)
Just looked out the front door (facing East) and the rain has let up but still coming down lightly, nothing but clouds above and plenty of thunder coming from the West.
Weather forecasters suck, the only job you can't get fired from by being wrong most of the time.
Today
Apr 26
AM Rain
81°/68°
70 % Geeze, ya think so!? :rolleyes:

Re: Corvette Challenge weather update (My 95)
I can't tell by the weather radars if the rain is still in Bradenton or not.
I will get a shower and see how things look, then I may head on down.

Re: Corvette Challenge weather update (Wolf1171)
OK the rain has stopped in SRQ for the moment, according to the news just now it's moving to the SouthEast and should be cloudy in the morning and possibly clear up in the afternoon.
