Default WV weather... Wet??

Looks like May 3-6 is 80% rain every day around Beckley/Elkins?? Does that look right?
from "theweather.com". weather.com shows 25-45%
Wonder who's right...

Was suppose to be there on the 4th and 5th..
Kentucky too..
Hate to push it out but... may have to.

It can hail any time in Wyoming. And be clear in an hour.

Are you telling me I should go to Wyoming, not West Virginia?
I'll check the closer it gets.. Just hate moving everything. But don't want to be stuck for a couple of days either..

Love the small town and friendly people. What America use to be.

Every small town has a Mom &Pop hotel. Coffee Shop. Steakhouse with a full bar.
Lot worse places to get stuck until the weather clears.

there's always a chance of rain in the mountains, and it's hard to see weather approaching
Weather underground 10 day forecastdoesn't look to be too bad.... but then again, I'm not heading there at the time you are

I've book each night ahead with the route defined. If it doesn't clear close to departure, I'll cancel the bookings and either wing it day to day or rebook a little out.
I don't want to ride days in the rain, it makes my hair wavy...

My mistake. Don’t know why I thought you were going to WY
Have a great trip to KY. I mean WV. Or is it AZ?
