Other than the showers on Friday night (60% chance of precip), it looks good through Tuesday. And beyond Tuesday it's just too early to tell right now. Get up here!

What I've found is that a chance of scattered thunderstorms at any time during the day (like those currently forecast for the second half of next week) typically results in the weather summary showing the graphic/icon for cloudy/rain/lightning -- to which we naturally react and groan, "Ugh....rain." Even if the scattered storms are forecast for late in the day, the same icon usually applies.

That's when I turn to the chance of precipitation. In my experience, a 30% or less chance of precip generally means a sunny and dry day on the water. 40% has me reading to see when the precip might arrive and in what form. 60%, I'm thinking of waving off the day as I've twice been caught in some strong storms, so it's not worth the risk.
