How does your commute look for tomorrow?

I've got to work overnight tonight, so I decided to ride in to work (24.6 miles one way) and relax during the night before my ride home tomorrow. I just looked at the weather report and this is what I find...

Wind driven rain showers early with a steady, soaking rain later in the day. High around 50F. Winds SSW at 25 to 40 mph. Rainfall may reach one inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.

Should be a fun ride, good thing I dressed a little warmer today!

hm, 50 mph winds seem pretty harsh.

I'm looking at 40 degrees F and raining pretty steadily.

Then again I only have a 4 mile one way

on my way home same conditions, but around 55 F

Mild (13C) but rainy... so trying to decide what bike to ride. The one with a randomly skipping chain, the one I hate leaving locked up, or the one that doesn't have stopping power in the rain.

Mine's even better than the forcast above. I'll be sleeping in on Veteran's Day.
