Sustained wind greater than (not equal to) 20 mph for the daily forecast.

50% chance of rain/thunderstorms/snow/sleet for the daily forecast.

These two reasons must be substantiated through VisualCrossing.com daily forecast for the city.

When canceling due to weather, you must check the box in the cancellation area of the reservation system that says, “Check this box if you are canceling because of weather related issues,” and select the appropriate issue from the drop down that appears. If you do not do this, the system will generate cancelation charges.

No other weather related issues qualify for a weather related cancellation. Cold fronts are not a cause for a cancellation. Medical issues, children, or spouse issues do not qualify for a cancellation.
