Hope the subject line isn't too cryptic. Planning to leave May 19 (week and a half) for Arkansas Ozarks , rogers Ak, Missouri, Memphis, Clarkesdale Mississippi, New Orleans, Austin...(not in that order!!) from upstate NY. Floods and raining now, I realize that can change- but what about the consequences? ie how many days after Missouri floods do the effects reach Ms, and Louisiana? Part of me says just play it by ear- all our destinations and route are negotiable, and part of me says go somewhere else! Hence the last part of my question- reliable accurate information. It seems to me that weather reporters and networks want to paint the worst- if there isn't flooding they will find some or make it up. That hilarious image of a reporter in a canoe on a weather report while a pedestrian walks by in ankledeep water! What short and longterm weather AND CONDITION (not the same) sources have you found reliable for planning and on the road?
