The National Weather Service, our nation's official weather forecasting agency, is calling for an 80% chance of severe thunderstorms on Saturday.
However, the fine folks over on the Weather Channel are calling for only a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms on Saturday. What's up with that? Also, is there really a difference between "partly cloudy" and "partly sunny" or is it all just weatherman semantics? All I want to know is will the trail be a muddy mess on Sunday?

(Monkey Edit) I checked the weekend weather forecast for Columbia, TN this morning (3/26) and the Weather Channel now has a 30% chance for isolated thunderstorms on Saturday and the National Weather Service has a 70% chance for thunderstorms. I'm sure it will change again before the day is over, so I give up. I'm checking the weather the day before the race and going with that, muddy trail or not.

From Duane Leach of the CCC:
"The rain is looking light and there will be time for it to dry for Sunday's Chickasaw Trace Classic in Columbia. So pack up your bike and come on!
Pre-riding will be available after our 15K on Saturday (about 11:00) a.m. and we will be registering in the cabin from 1:00 to 5:00 at the discounted price. If you can't make that, or you want to use a credit card, then sign up on line.
The course has changed: New start and ending section thanks to a new under-the-bridge trail.
See www.columbiacyclingclub.com for details including a map."
Either way, I have to be there. Up to this point, I really don't think we've had near as much rain right now as we did last year. Tomorrow will tell!
I'm in. :)
