RRG spring weather

The forecast over the next couple weeks calls for chance of rain around 25, 30 percent pretty much every day. I don't expect much accuracy from long term predictions, but is that typical weather for this time of year? Does the RRG usually get showers here and there in the spring, or does the forecast suggest a whole bunch of rainout days?

I'm wondering whether I should head down there because this is normal, or wait for a better window.

That's climbing weather in the south east bud

Some of the cliffs stay dry in most rain,

If there’s no condensation 

30% chance is normal, usually it doesn't even rain when it shows 20-30%, if it does there's plenty of spots that stay dry. 

I'm the other half of this little expedition. We can take this trip anytime between now and about May 20th, and we're driving. Given that flexibility, I'm wondering if keeping our eyes open for another stretch of good weather like the one happening right now (which unfortunately was not an option) is the way to go? Although as Yogi Berra said, it's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. 

Well other half all we can do is tell ya, not gonna get a better forecast than 20 30% here in the south east.

Just go, dude. You’re not gonna get perfect weather ever. Get an umbrella and climb sheltered routes if it rains or make your partner lead when the rock’s wet.

Had to make this one cringy, well ok then.

The southeast is constantly raining on and off in the spring. Taking trips is always a gamble. The Red could have excellent weather forecasts and change for the worst the day you arrive. No way to know unless you just go for it. If you like climbing hard roofs you'll find dry rock. Just bring beer and good friends and it'll be fun either way. 

Today there was a 70% chance of rain predicted all day, and it poured in the morning and then in the evening with perfect clear weather all afternoon before a booming rainstorm. You really just have to look at it day by day.

One thing people don't understand is what "30% chance of rain" actually means.  

30% chance of rain means that the odds are 30% that you'll see measurable rain (>0.01 inches) during the forecast period.  

It DOESN'T mean you should expect it to rain for 30% of the day, nor does it say anything about the intensity of the rain.

This time of the year, unless there's a big front coming through, the usual weather pattern seems to be lots of little scattered storms that hit some parts of the gorge while leaving others dry.  

Unless the odds of rain are really high (>90%) and they're predicting a lot of accumulation (half an inch or whatever), I take my chances and go.
