Sure looks like the traditional bait and switch by the weather industry for this upcoming weekend. Early in the seven day weather cycle on Sunday and Monday night all the forecasters have 3 sunny days with all the bad weather cleared out by Friday. On Tuesday evening, the forecast shifts due to "conflicting weather models" (I.E. everyone has made plans and locked in reservations for the weekend) the forecast is now chance of most holiday weekend days being partly sunny. Wednesday AM, cold Friday with probability of showers until Saturday morning. Cold and windy Saturday. Sunday the best of the weekend and Monday a significant chance of afternoon showers (I.E. get folks to leave early so the roads dont get to jammed up). If this follows form by Friday the forecast will have even degraded worse.
The local tourist economy loves it, not nasty enough to keep people from driving up, but enough to keep them stopping by the stores to stock up on firewood, beer, cold weather gear and tarp and hitting tourists attractions that are not as affected by poor weather.
I hope for all I am totally off base but I guess it comes down the standard weekend advice, plan for the worst and hope for the best.
