Is that you Steve Templeton? Is this just going to be a run of the mill rain day or is this going to be a you rolling up your sleeves and warning of us of bowling ball sized hail and EF9 tornados kind of day where you constantly interrupt the sporting event being broadcast?
The weather app on my phone says spot showers off and on a decent part of the day. These guys are pros and I don't think the weather phases them. I'm sure AZ would prefer to get this game in. Assuming it is their only trip here this year and they don't want to have to take some random detour in mid-August on a Monday or Thursday to come make up one game.
Ha. Funny. My buddies call me Cantore. You make good points. Reference travel, especially late season if both teams are relevant.
A fellow weather geek. I wear that badge proudly.
Ya. Didn't factor in that it would impact the Cards travel as well. Would suck if they have to fly home for a day for something like that between series on a road trip. The league tries to accommodate but there are only so many in common open days.
Cantore, that's good. We have a running joke that if there is a hurricane in the forecast and Jim Cantore shows up in your city you are effed. It's not really a joke. I often wonder how that guy hasn't been killed by flying hurricane debris as he's standing on the street in Key West while they eye wall blows thru.
It's raining in Creve Coeur right now for whatever that is worth. My dog wants his walk. He's gonna have to wait it out.
Awesome. Weather girls music sports was all I did as a kid, now 70. So I was always fascinated by weather. Sikeston was always on that snow/rain line, mostly rain.
In Military joined as a meteorologist. So that’s my training. And hence my passion.
If I drank, I could get drunk watching a killer thunderstorm.
One of my only professional regrets is not having chosen a career either in aviation, weather or something combining both. Instead, I chose law and I've spent years hating it. I wish I knew then what I know now.
When the storms roll thru and the sirens go off my family goes to the interior closet (we have a slab) and I go to the front window to watch. Last Friday was the first time I can recall thinking I probably should go join them, right after I watched a tree across the street fall onto a car next door. And I don't live near the path of the tornado.

Yea you sound like me. We are the kind you read about. Funny my daughter starts law school in couple months in Texas.
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And soon my tears they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be a Monday
Left over memories of Sunday always spent with you
Before the clouds appeared and took away my sunshine

Any Deadheads in these here parts? Since we are on the topic of rain songs. RIP Phil Lesh
Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you
What do you want me to do
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Then please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too
Look into any eyes you find by you
You can see clear through to another day
Maybe it's been seen before through other eyes
On other days while going home
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken
And thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain
And love will see you through
Just a box of rain, wind and water
Believe it if you need it
If you don't, just pass it on
Sun and shower, wind and rain
In and out the window
Like a moth before a flame
Yea there’s a little bit of circulation down in the ozarks moving predominantly east. It’s expanding the showers north eastward. The circulation may dive towards Memphis / Jackson direction, which will keep STL on the north and drier side.
However, if it don’t dive, showers will be more often and a tad harder. My concern- about third inning of a well pitched game, comes lightning delays- goodbye starter.
Looking out my office window it's sprinkling a little harder now.
No forecast for thunderstorms so lightening may stay away!
Yeah Lord
It’s a gray day
And the pine trees are drippin’
It’s a gray day
and I feel like I’m trippin’
In a gray world
I feel my sanity slipping
Lost in the clouds on such a gray day…

That's cool. That's exactly what I should have done. I had an in with the FAA and ATC school in the mid 80s, after the PATCO strike. I was just out of high school. I wasn't positive I had the necessary education, and I would have had to cold turkey stop smoking weed. I really wish I would have done this.

When air traffic controllers were let go during the strike, one of them started a private company that
proves air traffic controllers at small to medium sized airports. It’s now the largest independent air traffic controllers company in the country.
You and me and rain on the roof,
Caught up in a summer shower,
Drying while it soaks the flowers.
Maybe we'll be caught for hours,
Waiting out the sun.
You and me, we're gabbing away
Dreamy conversation, sitting in the hay.
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you?
Cause I didn't feel a drop til the thunder brought us to.
You and me underneath a roof of tin.
Pretty comfy feeling, how the rain ain't leaking in.
We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour.
Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it rains some more.
Snakes don't play until tomorrow night, but Cards play early afternoon in Baltimore tomorrow. Looks like the STL skies are rain free after 5pm.
And Arizona doesn't return to STL again this regular season. All that being said, it seems wise to do what they can to get this one in, though it may take a few more hours.
