Coming storm...

Hey guys, looking for advice. There's a sizeable storm heading towards San Diego. My first day of shooting, on the 5th is on a "Western" set in Jamul, 30 minutes outside of San Diego. Just checked weather and I only get a ten day forecast, which showed the 5th as lotsa rain.

This particular set is far from rain proof and we'd have to cancel or troubleshoot. Two questions...

Anyone have a link to weather going past a ten day forecast? What have you guys done in the past when forced to shoot in the rain? These are interiors the first week, but these are old school 1800's sets, with several openings in log cabins and all around exposed sets.

I was thinking of just tarping the whole damn set, but I'm still worried about exposure to electrical, etc. We have a sizeable lighting package.

Thanks, now go do some anti-rain dances for me...

Unfortunately predicting the weather beyond 10 days (much lessa week) is a tough call. Here is a link that might help as the days appraoch:

Start planning ahead now. If you have to go up to Jamul tomorrow morning to get a better idea of what you are working with then do it ASAP. Re-look your schedule and shot list as well and see what you can and cant switch.

Ill do the dance brother!

Thanks, John. Fortunately we reserved the ranch starting on the 2nd for set design, so we'll have a few days to brainstorm (no pun intended) on set.
