I always check the forecast, especially on those hot humid days when thunderstorms pop up at anytime. Its a lot easier now with all the weather apps you can load onto your phone. The apps are helpful but I have learned the hard way that storms came come in quickly over the tops of mountains and be on top of you without much warning. I have even been driving through the Weirs in bright sunshine and look down into Meredith into the pouring rain. Tip: carry a pair of sun glasses or safety glasses in the glove box. When you are in a storm and trying to out race it, the rain hitting your face and eyes hurt
