I’m 2 weeks away from my annual campout/amateur radio contest. I’m trying to find a site on line with a 14 day extended forecast for an extremely rural area.

I’ve Googled and was only able to find 10 day forecasts. Any help would be appreciated.

Weather is a chaotic system so the accuracy of forecasts decreases dramatically after just a few days. A 14 day forecast would be essentially guessing.

Here is a 15 day [forecast](http://wwwa.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?partner=17868&myadc=0) . I don’t know how accurate they are.

Here is the seven day forecast from [NOAA](http://www.weather.gov/forecasts.php). I consider them to be more reliable.  
You can just type in the city and state or zip code.

Historical weather data for the area and dates you’re interested in would probably be more enlightening than a 14-day forecast…
