Weather for tomorrow's game

[psu2008]

Weather forecast for Saturday isn't looking too good. Thunderstorms and rain all day :mad:

According to weather.com http://www.weather.com/weather/local/20785?from=dayDetails_topnav_undeclared

I'll be at the game regardless, but puts a damper on tailgating

[S.T.real,lights,out]

If its going to be nasty i really hope they dont play all of our guys. No need for them to slip and get hurt in a game that means nothing.

[Santana_Fan]

That sucks, I have DirecTv. The slightest rain knocks the cable out. Last week, I'd say 4 mins before the game was going to come on, the cable went out. It came back on in time for the game, but I was about to be HEATED.

[Old Dominion Monarch 06]

yeah it looks like it might rain next weekend too for the game against the Pats, bummed since I'm going to that game.


aaaaaaaaand I just checked the weather and it says it's not going to rain next friday. weeeeeeeeeee

[JaimeDeCurry]

May suck for you guys at the stadium, but it makes for great watching for those of us in our nice dry living rooms! :)

[BigMike21]

Damn that sucks I was planning on heading out mad early...

[Arsenic]

I had an awesome time at the Skins n Ravens Preseason lightning storm last year(?).. until they sent us packin :(

You have Directv AND cable???

[Mark The Homer]

I hate to brag - I really do. But I'm under cover. :)

[CPORTISFAN999]

yea i remember that game. it was 2 years ago though, not last year. I remember that we intercepted the ravens and ran it back for a touchdown right before the game was called off. so we ended up winning 13-6.

[HOF44]

I hate to brag - I really do. But I'm under cover. :)

Won't help if they won't let you in the seating and cancel the game. ;)

Gonna watch this real close. I have no desire to repeat the Baltimore game that was canceled due to storms. 100+ sweltering tailgate, then the cattle car of everyone being made to stand in the concourse(I smelled things I hope I never do again. lol), then the game canceled.

[GOSKINS350]

Not looking good at all, 80% chance to Tstorms.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

We should be nice and post this on the steelers message board. considering half the stadium will be pitt fans :doh:

[superozman]

I'll be in Ocean City NJ getting pulled out to sea from the rip tides while the tailgaters are getting hit by lightening.

And by tailgaters i mean the 35,000 steelers fans that show up!

[Stew]

TeddyKGB's tailgate will destroy whatever rain comes near it... I seen it!

[Chump Bailey]

May suck for you guys at the stadium, but it makes for great watching for those of us in our nice dry living rooms! :)

I'll survive somehow. I have Joe Gibbs club level seating it seems for tomorrow's game. I'm sure there's someplace dry to go and have a drink or two and wait it out. :D

[9_to_42_td]

I hate to brag - I really do. But I'm under cover. :)

Is row 5 in 205 under cover?

[Ashburn Dave]

That sucks, I have DirecTv. The slightest rain knocks the cable out. Last week, I'd say 4 mins before the game was going to come on, the cable went out. It came back on in time for the game, but I was about to be HEATED.

We finally switched from DirecTV to Verizon this year and I'm loving not losing my signal anymore.

[localskinsfan]

I'm determined to think positively since my friend and her family drove up from Va Beach tonight in the storms! I think they've had their bad weather for this trip. No umbrellas are allowed, right? Makes me wish I had bought a Skins poncho at training camp.

[BAFGA]

Got tickets in the Club Level for this game. If it's raining and lightning too hard we can just duck into the club for a while.

[Toe Jam]

Yep. It's gonna be ugly.

From the National Weather Service Hazardous Weather Outlook...

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

A CONTINUED THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW...GUSTY WINDS AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING ARE THE MAIN THREATS.

[ixcuincle]

**** it's ugly now and it might be as ugly tomorrow

Glad I'll be safe indoors commenting on the game in the chat :D

[Mark The Homer]

Is row 5 in 205 under cover?Is Sonny J the best QB that ever lived?

[downbeat87]

Is Sonny J the best QB that ever lived?

slingin sammy? is that a wrong alternate?

[NOLASKINSFAN]

Ouch... :wavetowel please, dont make me go throught this again locals

[mcees4life]

I'm not going if that forecast holds up. I refuse to sit outside in a downpour for a meaningless preseason game

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

****ty weather + preseason game = not good.

I hope it stays dry for both teams and you guys going.

[wvtbred]

We finally switched from DirecTV to Verizon this year and I'm loving not losing my signal anymore.
That is the one reason i have not switched to dish yet. When it's storming (either rain or snow) you can't watch tv which is exactly when I want to watch tv the most.

[HOF44]

Gonna be a late decision for me as to go or not. Nexrad is not looking to good right now.

[wvtbred]

It's very possible the worse will be done by game time so don't give up yet.

[abdcskins]

My friend gave me two tickets for free, but I don't wanna go if it is going to be pouring. I haven't been to a game in so long, I don't care if it is preseaon. Hmm...it would be a shame to waste them.

Dude, seriously?

I'd drive up there if I could right now if someone gave me free tickets. :slap:

Did you hook it up yourself? Professional?

I hooked min e up and got 96% signal, when it storms it drops to around 75 but I never lose my picture.

[Moorecards]

I live 3.9 miles from Fed-Ex son canceled coming from W Va to see game with me, so I am still up in the air if I will make it .. Will wait to see how the weather goes ..

[wvtbred]

Great new sig Coach ... you gotta do this for every Home game.


I am a bit of a weather nerd, love hurricanes, tornados, blizzards etc. and will post weather for every game home and away if there is interest for it.

If you like weather you would love it where I live. :cool2:

[PokerPacker]

so what are the thoughts on the weather currently? Will I hate myself fighting traffic to get in and out of DC through awful storms?

[Karl W]

Dude, yes, please, hourly updates with details. I am also a weather nerd but too lazy to look it up myself. (Remember when we were kids and listened to the weather channel on the radio because there was no other way to get weather back then . . .)

[wvtbred]

It all hinges on Hurricane Bill. He is picking up steam and moving a little faster to the North. Once he gets past MD he will help by dragging the front with them. Looking at it right now the major rain threat should be over by game time with a chance of a scattered storms so not a washout. Late afternoon advisory of Bill will tell more.

Right now NWS saying 70% chance of storms tonight. If Bill moves past I am thinking more like 30%

For what it is worth if I had tickets I would go.

But what about storms during tailgate time?

[wvtbred]

But what about storms during tailgate time?

All depends on how fast Bill moves out, until he does the moist air is trapped over the eastern seaboard.

[wvtbred]

Here is a link to a really good look at Bill.

[Rocky52Mc]

Lightning storms would suck!

My friend got on field passes and inside seating and is bringing me along.

[Toe Jam]

Hmm. Let's see.

Shouldn't be too bad.

Just heavy rain, gusty winds, frequent lightning, continuous thunder and isolated severe thunderstorms/tornadoes.

You'll be fine. Go have a blast.:)

[BigMike21]

I'e be up in the 400 section with the rest of my wet drunks. No cover anywhere except the bathrooms. Preseason or Playoffs Rain or Shine we get down on it!!!

[Toe Jam]

That's the spirit right there.

If I had tickets and I lived close, I'd be there in a freaking heart beat.

My only worry is the players. Not sure how long they should play if it gets nasty.

[PokerPacker]

lower bowl for me. don't think I'll be under cover, though. I think row 27 or something like that.

[Toe Jam]

Row 27 in the 100's?

[Inigo Montoya]

I will be on the field pre-game as well... I hope it isnt pouring on us!!!

[InsaneBoost]

It's getting dark now.

[Toe Jam]

Some rainfall rates to the south of the area are getting close to 2.5 inches per hour.

[Toe Jam]

You guys might need an ark.

[Karl W]

Here is a link to a really good look at Bill.

wvtbred, what is the latest on chances of storms during tailgate and game? Did Bill make his move in the right direction?

[Karl W]

You guys might need an ark.

Aw dude that radar looks really bad. Hopefully Bill will make his turn north and suck it all out of our area. But we may pass on the tailgating today.

[ryren]

Hope the weather isn't too bad for you guys. Enjoy the game! I sold my tickets to the game so I'll be sitting in the comfort of the home..

[Moorecards]

If you hit FUTURE on the NBC4 weather map, doesn't look good for game time

that's what im talking about! where are u???

[wvtbred]

wvtbred, what is the latest on chances of storms during tailgate and game? Did Bill make his move in the right direction?

Bill has made his move he just has to get off of NJ to start to pull this out.

[abdcskins]

I decided not to go, I favor the comfort of my couch over getting soaked. My buddy bailed too. If it were a regular season game I would be there.

Anyone who wants two free tickets(Section 451 Row 7) PM me. It's a little late, but still...

i deceided to stay home as well... im still recovering from the giants game last year... plus the beer is considerbaly less expensive at my apartment,

[skinsdomination09]

Dont be so quick to quit. This is a fast moving system should be moving out by the time the game starts.

[wvtbred]

If you invite friends over and charge what they do for beer at the stadium you could move out of the apartment and into a house by the end of the season :D

[wvtbred]

Fast as in three day fast :D

I said before I think it will be fine for the game.

[InsaneBoost]

The storm is moving decent, I would say by the end of the first, latest 2nd quarter it should be dry.

[Moorecards]

I live 3.9 miles se of Fed Ex Field

raining hard with thunder right now at 4:36

[InsaneBoost]

Looks like the last bit of rain that might hit around Fedex is the part in Fredericksburg, but even that is pushing it.

Should definitely be done by or a little after kickoff. Might get a little wet, but nothing too bad.

-EDIT-

Most of the rain now is light / medium-light.

[Da'uud]

Do they cover the field until warm-ups?

[Karl W]

Fast as in three day fast :D

I said before I think it will be fine for the game.

OK wtvbred you convinced me, I am leaving in about 30 minutes. Bringing rain gwar just in case.

[InsaneBoost]

Do they cover the field until warm-ups?

I don't believe so.

damn!!!!

[wvtbred]

Definitely pulling out now and it will be close to the start of the game but heavy as hell until then, enjoy.

[GibbsFactor]

This is some long strong down pours. It poured at heavy Thunderstorm level rain for about an hour here. It was crazy. I was at a birthday party and had to stay out under tents to keep them from filling up with water.

Sucks.

[redshirtguy#45]

dang, as many have said for sure, i would like them to play hard/well on off, and bad weather combined with a game that doesnt count cant be a good mix.

hope there are no injuries for the players tonight (or ever for the skins).

[wvtbred]

Being squeezed like a sponge but it will be over soon.

[wvtbred]

Almost done, hang in there!

[wvtbred]

Looks like it stopped just in time for the game to start.
