I'm not predicting the play of the Chicago Cubs or the Pittsburgh Pirates by any means here! This is strictly about the weather and how it could impact the game. On Friday, the Cubs and Pirates open the 2011 season at Wrigley Field at 2:20pm. At the very best, the weather looks chilly for this time of year with highs only in the 40s. At worst, snow could dust the baseball diamond! We're watching an Alberta-clipper that will dive into the U.S. and toward northern Illinois on Friday with some rain and snow. The computer models suggest we'll be cold enough for snow Thursday night when the system starts to move into the area. It also appears cold enough for snow on Friday afternoon, but with the high April sun angle and the timing of this low in question, we have a rain/snow mix in the forecast for now. Stay tuned... this could be a rotten opening game weather-wise!
