I don't mess with thunderstorm warnings. Period. Sure, they are wrong sometimes, but it isn't worth my life to get caught on country roads out in the cornfields in a Midwestern thunderstorm where there is typically no place to take shelter.
Windy days will change WHERE I ride, but it has to be pretty windy to keep me from riding at all. 23-25 mph crosswinds will, and has, blown me over to the other side of the ride so I won't ride when there it is that windy. I've been fortunate enough that there was no cars on the road when this has happenedI am always amazed when I read ride reports from other parts of the country where they deal with stronger winds on a regular basis.
Outside of those two reasons, I just try to listen to my legs. When my legs ask for a break they get it, whether I want to listen or not. I've too many over-use injuries from not listening in the past
