When it rains ...

Different areas of the country are harder/easier to forecast. We are so close to the gulf it's makes forecasting a lot harder. A lot of different variables when dealing with warm water and the coast as opposed to just over a landmass.

I've always said I want to be a weatherman in Vegas when I retire. Throw in a 10% chance of rain just to make sure I'm covered...

I do subscribe to the "meteorology has the lowest turnover rate" logic, however living in Houston, I can say they nailed this current storm correctly. If this crap keeps up, I am going to get a canoe, just in case...

We live in Missouri City. .. 1 1/2 miles from the Brazos....flooding all around Sienna Plantation Community.....and the rain continues

don't think games will be on time today if at all completed, that systems in the gulf looks slow moving!

How long will they wait before deciding whether or not to start game one on time?

Current radar. Yikes.

Looks like the weather guys nailed it.

The majority of that big band is likely to stay to our west and circle back into Texas. Animate the radar.

Yeah, its moving more North than most fronts would. The one to watch is the one almost due south of us in the gulf. The stuff in TX isnt coming this way

We will get both games in. They may have some delays, but we'll get'em in. I agree - need to animate that radar or else that rain will stay on top of Texas.....

Get out there, drink some beer, eat a lot and wait the rain out.

Look at the infrared satellite image. There is a huge area of instability just to the west of Lafayette. I'm guessing the early game starts no earlier than 5.

Thanks for talking me off the roof, lol. Sitting here in the rain anxiously awaiting is driving me batty. Pun intended.

It's nice that there's such a gap between games. If game 1 gets delayed a few hours, there's still a chance game 2 starts on time
