Plan around it
The forecast is only useful if it changes the plan. These are the Harpers Ferry pages that match each kind of day.

The longer view
Today's forecast tells you what to wear. This tells you when to come.
Harpers Ferry runs its warmest in summer (June – August), averaging 85°F by day and 64°F overnight. Winter (December – February) is the other end of it: highs around 41°F, lows near 26°F. That is a 59-degree spread between the hottest afternoon and the coldest night of a typical year, which is why the same packing list does not work twice here. Visitor numbers track it closely — fall is full, winter is quiet — so the cheapest weather is rarely the most comfortable weather.

Book around it
Departures cancel for weather, not for forecasts. Check the operator's own cancellation terms before you book on a marginal day.

Per-seat pricing, fixed departure times, and other people on the boat. For one or two of you this is almost always the right call.
Priced for the boat rather than the seat, and often the cheaper answer for four or more once you divide it out. Worth checking against the shared price above before you assume private means expensive.
