Rain, Rain, Go Away!

The World Series game last night was rained out. The weather wasn't too bad, it was a steady light rain and a little cold, but you want to have games as significant as the World Series played so that the weather isn't a factor in the outcome, so I applaud MLB's decision to postpone the game.

But, the problem is that the weather doesn't look to be getting any better here in the near future.

Here's the weather forecast for today and the next couple of days:

Tonight: (St Louis) Rain showers this evening, becoming a steady, soaking rain overnight with a few rumbles of thunder possible. High 54, Low 47F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall near a half an inch.

Friday (Normally a travel day fo the World Series, but not this year with the rain out): (St Louis) Cloudy with rain likely. A thundershower is possible as well, especially in the morning. High 53F, Low 40. Winds NNE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall around a half an inch.

Saturday: (St Louis): Mostly Sunny, High 64, Low 39 (Detroit): Showers/Wind, High 51, Low 37

Sunday (St Louis): Sunny, High 68, Low 49 (Detroit): Partly Cloudy, High 48, Low 39

Monday (just in case) (Detroit): Partly Cloudy, High 59, Low 48

Looks like tonight's game could be a wash. Tomorrow is iffy. My best guess is that game 4 will be played here in St Louis on Friday, Game 5 in St Louis on Saturday, Game 6 in Detroit on Sunday, and Game 7 in Detroit on Monday. I believe the Cardinals will win in 5 games, so game 6 and 7 in Detroit won't be needed. but, you never know what will happen. So, we'll see.

It is pretty hard to play ball this late in the year when the weather is so unpredictable in the midwest. I tip my hat to both teams.
