Just checked weather.com and scattered thunderstorms are predicted for today through next week! Leaving tomorrow... Hope this doesn%26#39;t put a damper on our weekend in KW.... Any of you locals know from experience what ';Scattered Thunderstorms'; really means in KW??
Rain the next few days??scattered means quick, short rains in the afternoon, if any at all. Not enough to stop virtually ANY activity. That forecast is essentially carved in stone during our rainy season.
Rain the next few days??THANKS!! kwt.... I feel much better!
scattered means quick, short rains in the afternoon -
followed by impromptu wet T-shirt contests

For the remainder of the summer til about October, you can count on a 20 - 40 percent chance of rain daily. Basically, if it%26#39;s 30% or less, usually no sweat. Walk down Duval St. or around the Bight. It rains? Duck into a bar and get a beer.
As KWT says, ';when it rains, we get wet. No problem';
In spite of the nearly daily rain, no one here carries an umbrella or wears a raincoat. No reason to worry about a vacation getting rained out.
If you are bar-hopping and it rains, you hop a little faster.
If you are going out to snorkel and it rains, so what, you are gonna get wet anyway.
See? No problem!
Just thought of something....
your most comfortable CANVAS shoes (or at least not leather, like Topsiders.) They will dry more quickly. After one of our ';sunshowers'; our little island%26#39;s 1940%26#39;s infrastrucure wastewater plumbing system gags just about every time......so there are LOTS of puddles, some you%26#39;d call lakes.
Comfy canvas shoes, better yet sandals or Crocs, one less thing to worry about splashing through Old Town.
I actually enjoy a little rain in KW!! Like BK says, no raincoats or umbrellas. Just take a walk in it and enjoy it!!
I once saw a city bus go through the water at Front and Duval that always is there after a hard shower. The bus had water up to it%26#39;s axles. Everyone was yelling at the bus driver from the sidewalk telling him it was a ';no-wake'; zone.
Thanks to all of you! Sounds like a great excuse to give lots of bars some business!
Said the same thing this past weekend and we were unaffected - we were in a bar and or restaurant and would miss 95% of it and the other 5% was overnight. No problem whatsoever!
