UGH...Weather!

The internet can be a great thing.  However, it also can make you crazy!  I have been checking the weather for our Hawaii trip everyday for the past couple days since they show the 10 day forecast.  Well what I've learned is that different weather websites give way different forecasts.  I've also learned that the tiny island of Hawaii has different weather in areas as close as 30 miles.  Let me give you an example.

Weather.com for Princeville, HI     VS. Wunderground.com for Princeville

Monday....90 degrees 30% chance of rain VS. 87 degrees 70% chance of rain  
That's a big difference in rain chances!!

Tuesday...89 degrees 30% chance of rain VS. 87 degrees 20% chance of rain
Whew a little better :)  

Weather.com for Lihue, HI               VS. Wunderground.com for Lihue, HI

Monday...83 degrees 30% chance of rain VS. 87 degrees 70% chance of rain
OK wunderground seems accurate for the 30 mile distance btwn cities. But 7 degrees difference with weather.com btwn cities seems a lot to me!

Tuesday...83 degrees 30% chance of rain VS. 87 degrees 20% chance of rain
Same as before...

OK so which do you think is more accurate???  Or should I assume that the weather will be hot and may or may not rain....LOL!  I think I'll look at the one with the best weather.  What can I say, I want beautiful sun shiney weather!!!!!
