I'm planning on riding the trail from St. Louis to Clinton starting around the end of May, camping along the way, but I'm a little nervous about lightning and heavy winds and rain. How will I be able to keep updated on weather reports once I'm on the trail?

Smartphone?

We have done several trail vacations and it's easy to get information from people you meet along the way and in the towns. Pretty much we follow our instinct as to the weather, have been really lucky. Don't pitch your tent under trees in case of high winds. Good luck.

We have a portable Midland weather radio that we take when we think weather may be an issue. It's small and fits easily in a front handlebar bag.

For severe weather alerts all you need is an MP3 w/ radio tuned in to a local channel--NOAA and NWS is good about getting the word out if something ugly is comming. It helps to be familiar with the area county names and towns or bring a good area map. I carry my smartphone and do a shortcut for the region on weatherunderground/mobile. And as someone else on the forum advised, make sure you have the # of the shuttle services with you....just in case.
