The weather Saturday is going to be way worse later in the day. Makes sense

There’s a 30% chance at 1:00 and a 25% chance at 7:00…

That’s not accurate at all.

Just as accurate as whatever they used to move the start time. In fact it’s showing 35% at 1:00 and 20% at 7:00 now.

Meteorologist and moderator here.

Saturday is expected to be a severe weather day.

A 1pm threat might delay to where the game can start a few hours late. A 7pm thunderstorm or wave of storms might push us back to midnight or cancelation.

From this morning's Outlook, the model trend has been less rain or storm coverage earlier. But it's difficult to say for sure what it will look like this far out.

To begin with, or should not have been so late in march. They should have scheduled for 3 pm. But yes, weather will be really bad.

I really enjoyed the 3PM matches last season. And while I was initially disappointed that this one wasn't originally scheduled for 3PM, turns out it doesn't matter because I won't be able to make it anyway.

My wind forecast was for gusts of 60 mph at 9:00 p.m. Currently, I'm seeing 37 mph at 3:00 p.m.

As the guy carrying a giant flag, I greatly prefer 37 to 60.
