unfortunately with a weather dependent business, we have to make certain decisions based on what it looks like is GOING to happen rather than what IS happening. We never look at what they say, just at the radar itself, because 90% of the time they're wrong. With that kind of a forecast, even if it doesn't rain, chances are there will only be 20-30 cars showing up for the night, and that doesn't even pay the insurance for the evening, let alone the 30 employees we have. Normally even with a mediocre forecast, we open anyhow, but one where there are showers EVERYWHERE, we know that our customers aren't going to come out to chance it, especially with everybody crying poverty.
