World Series Game 1 Forecast

It's Wednesday. The first day of the World Series. For the next one to two weeks many students and workers in and around Boston that are Red Sox fans will be mighty tired in the mornings. Tonight is Game One and we will have our star Beckett face off against the Rockies' Jeff Francis. If I were a betting man, I would take the Sox in six games. Anyway, I'm not and here is the all important forecast for the game tonight. I have been a little nervous about the rain that was looming back in Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley that was aiming directly towards SNE, but I think now that we have escaped the heaviest and steadiest of the rain. There will be more intermittent light rain showers around Fenway tonight, not causing any delays or cancellations. You will get a half hour of light rain and drizzle followed by an extended period of dry, but very brisk conditions for another half hour. The light rain will be very periodic. The game will be played. It will be very cool as well though, and there will be some wind to contend with too, making it feel extra chilly and World Series-esc, at Fenway Park to welcome the Rockies. Anyway, here is the breakdown of the Game 1 forecast at Fenway tonight.

WORLD SERIES GAME 1 FORECAST

Boston v. Colorado

Gametime: 8:00PM

First Inning....................................Few Light Rain Showers; Winds N-5 to 10 mph, 51

Midpoint.........................................Few Light Rain Showers; Winds N-8 to 15 mph, 49

End..................................................Mostly Cloudy, Brisk; Winds N-10 to 18 mph, 47

There it is. If you are lucky enough to be going to the game, dress appropriately. It is going to be a chilly night, but hopefully the Red Sox win will warm you up a little bit. Windchills by the end of the game will likely be in the low 40's, with that raw moist feeling, making it feel extra cold. Just dress warm and enjoy the game.

More on the chilly forecast later.
