Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed

Been looking for a site like this for a long time and finally found it:
You enter your starting point and date and time as well as your end point (sorry, only two points allowed) and it will show you weather at points along your trip. By changing a starting point or destination, you may be able to avoid rain. It's based on Google maps, so you can also change the route it selects.
I think it may be broken today because it's showing rain on me all day today, and clearly the Corvette gods wouldn't allow that 
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I'm afraid the weather gods are against you today, Marshall. 
I'm sitting here in Nashville and it's raining like mad. 
Sure glad I'm not gonna have to drive anywhere today in this junk. Good luck and be careful driving today.

Geez, guys, don't tell me this is going to be a repeat of last year! Barb and Frank, get your cup ready!

Wunderground is a cool site. I've used it at home a lot.
It was bright and sunny in Indianapolis this morning. Wally and I enjoyed our visit to the Hall of Fame Museum at the "Brickyard". Then we met Candi and Marshall for lunch and three Vettes headed east for Cinncy. It started raining less than 50 miles east of Indy and never really let up all the way to Knoxville.
Hopefully the skies will clear tomorrow for our ride on "The Tail of the Dragon".

"The Toys"...!!! Save the Wave! 
Good luck tomorrow on the Tail of the Dragon, Jim. 
Let me know how it went as we plan on taking it Tuesday.

Well - it is going to rain tomorrow throughout much of the South East except the coastline north of SC.
Rest of the week - could be wet (typically in the afternoon)
next Saturday - too far for any "real" accuracy. Savannah could be dry.

Vette(s): 1978 Black with Viking mural painted under hood AM/FM/CB radio, T-top and a 2013 Cyber Gray Grand Sport Coupe, 2LT for my daily driver
Last night on the local station in Greenville, they were calling for rain off and on until Wednesday, then clear and between 80 and 82 for the high temperatures. The Weather Channel might be different (it often is) because in Greenville, we are right at the foothills/point of the smokey Mountians and that can really mess with the weather patterens. That is why the local station often is close with its weather predication forecast (make that weather prediction GUESS).
Warning: The surgeon general has declared that it is NOT unhealthy to smoke your competition AND I just discovered that my corvette is a hybred. It burns gas and rubber!
