Game 2 Weather Updates

(UPDATE: 4:29 p.m.) Well, things have started to turn in the other direction. There is now a 15% chance of rain at 7 p.m., a 40% chance at 8 p.m., and a 50-55% chance of rain from 9-10 p.m.

(UPDATE: 3:40 p.m.) There is now just a 10% chance of rain at 7 p.m. and a 20-25% chance through the 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. hours.

(UPDATE: 2:48 p.m.) Once again the forecast has improved. Now there is 35% chance of rain at 7:00 p.m., a 40% chance of rain at 8:00 p.m., and 60-70% from 9:00-11:00 p.m. It's not much of a difference but at least it's trending in the right direction.

(UPDATE 2:02 p.m.)
The forecast has improved slightly. There is now a 40% chance of rain at 7 p.m., but there remains a 60% until 10 and that bumps up to 70% at 11. Based on the updated satellite predictions it looks like rain could stay away until 9 p.m......... More updates coming.

When I went to bed earlier this morning (5:30 a.m.) the weather for today had a 90% chance of rain all night, that has dropped to 60%-70% from 7 p.m. - midnight, so at least it's improving. Still, the reports don't look promising and this one could be a washout.


There's also this from Accuweather.com:
According to Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde here at AccuWeather.com, weather conditions should deteriorate late in the day. A light rain or some drizzle should become a steady rain right around or just before game time. With temperatures expected to be in the mid-40s and with a northeast wind around 15-20 mph (wind chills will be in the upper 20s), a miserable day is in store for the metro area. It is unlikely that the game will be able to be played.
If you read this post over at New Stadium Insider, tonight's game even sounds less likely to be played.

I will keep an eye on the weather and continue to update this post throughout the day if anything changes. If tonight's game is postponed the game will be played tomorrow @ 4:35 p.m.
