Crappy again....Nice all week and then a monsoon ....WTF?
The chance of precipitation peaks during the morning (8 and 9 am), then lowers to 60% until 3. Then hovers between 40 and 50% until 8pm. Not a lot of rain predicted though, biggest factor will probably be the lightning, again.
I wonder if this is due to us being so close to the city? Or is it a state rule? Or just the U being extra safe?I found this real-time lightning tracking site before the last game. Here's the link:
https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang...=;n=0;y=43.9525;x=-89.4922;z=6;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;
It provides a very good idea if weather coming in has an electrical bite to it beyond the electricity in the stadium from a Gophers win...
Also, we now know the UM's lightning tolerance is 15 miles and not just the 8 miles provided in the NCAA rules (thanks again Josh). Hopefully nothing until after 6 PM...the game should be done by then.
I blame Gopherweatherguy and his geostorm machine.

I'm still surprised that someone from the U didn't stop the U2 show in 2011 which went on for nearly 2 hours in a lightning storm, and likewise I'm surprised no one got zapped that night.
That may be why they've been so trigger happy since then.
It's called 3M arena. Get it right. [emoji3]Let’s move the game inside Marriucci
My app says rain should stop at 11:30 and then stay away until between 5-6.
hopefully 6.. but the line that is suppose to move through at that time looks like it will be fast moving and weaker than they were predicting a few days ago.
I agree with the line looking pretty weak. Can't rule out an isolated storm popping up, but most of the game should be fine.
