Weather for Pinstripe Bowl: will be mild (low 50s), but low chance of a few light showers
- Thread starter RU848789
- Start date
This exactly
I have seen the same forecast. Rain over by Noon.. then a 6 hour window of drier weather and then showers at night. Perfect for the Game.
Interesting that the NWS-NYC has clearly upped the POP (probability of precip) from yesterday's 25-30% to 40-50% during the afternoon on Thursday, but they really haven't increased the forecasted rainfall by much at all, as they're still predicting <0.05" from 1 pm to 7 pm, which is the key time everyone is interested in. That would be kind of like a few light 15-20 minute showers/sprinkles a few times during the game. Annoying, but tolerable for most.
And today's 12Z models range from about half of them having little to no rain at all (<0.02"), while about half do show 0.05-0.10" of rain from 1-7 pm, which is nuisance rain to me, but we've seen that much make our fanbase complain pretty loudly. Keep in mind, though, that there is more significant rain just 6-12 hours before kickoff and after the end of the game, so don't be surprised if the game trends a little wetter. At least temps still look mild, in the low/mid 50s through the afternoon and into the early evening and winds look to be light, so there won't be any wind chill.

So essentially, this is gonna change a lot more tomorrow, as it has the last 48 hours, so I’ll say this:
Probably 98% of the people bought tickets for this game, including a ton in the last week, couldn’t give a shit about a little light rain during the game , with temperatures in the low 50s. +98% of people are not tailgating outdoors for this game, which is a huge, huge difference.
You haven't paid attention to my gameday weather threads, lol. Some people tend to freak out if there is even the tiniest bit of rain (like the amounts we're talking about for this game).
Sure there is when temps are in the low 50s and no wind and we're talking maybe 0.01-0.03" of rain. That's a nuisance to most, even if it's not to you. We've covered this 100X before.
Couldn't ask for a better outcome here
Bringing my wife and daughter and it's a relief about the weather
Thought we'd have to wear parka's but glad to be wrong!

Most recent one I saw was some rain until about 9am and then nothing again to maybe 5:30-6ish.
Highest temps during the game. 53?
.06 forecast for the gametime period between 12 and 6 and the chance of rain still around 50%. Extremely likely that the heavier rain is over by midmorning but for those out and about getting to pre game festivities or driving in be aware there you still may to dodge some lingering light rain at times.
Only a few rows each level. Doesn't matter plenty of room to stand and watch from the concourse SHOULD you need to do so.
If what it's doing outside, NOW, is what we MIGHT get during the game tomorrow....no worries whatsoever, IMHO. It's ALMOST shorts weather lol!!.06 forecast for the gametime period between 12 and 6 and the chance of rain still around 50%.

Every 12Z model (they've just come out) shows at least a little bit of rain between about 1 pm and 7 pm, i.e., some show only 0.01-0.02", while others show 0.05-0.10". Very unlikely we don't get at least a brief (15-20 min) light shower or two between 2 pm and 6:30 pm (the time when people will likely be outside). Impossible to predict when, exactly, any of those showers hits, i.e., the game could be completely dry, but that seems unlikely at this point.
It'll be mild (low 50s), so a little light rain won't be an issue for most, but if we get over 0.05", that'll start to get people pretty wet, so not a bad idea to bring a light poncho if you have an issue with light rain.

This game could be 3-hours flat. Run, run and more run by both sides tomorrow, is my guess.
Yet ticket sales are still flying today. 3 more sections on the RU sides just opened up in the 300's. Good stuff!!!
On the positive side, I'm inferring from the google maps picture that, if the sun peeks out, the seats on the 3B side and down the left field line will get some sun.
Oh yeah...there's a reason you see lots of empty seats at Yankee day games in the 300's/400's down the left field line...it can get HOT up there!
Latest from the NWS-NYC. Not much change, as they're still predicting only light rain/sprinkles at times with <0.05" from 1-7 pm (in their graphics). It'll be kind of gloomy, but I think most will take low 50s and a little bit of rain in late Dec over some of the alternatives.

Considering what they got in Anappolis today our fans should be THRILLED with this forecast!
FYI, 1-1.5" of rain have already fallen in much of the eastern PA/NJ region (not yet in NYC metro) and flood warnings and advisories have been posted for urban/poor drainage flooding and some minor stream and river flooding expected later today as rains drain into these streams/rivers.
More importantly, I just realized that the NWS has declared that Middlesex and Somerset Counties are part of Northern NJ, not Central NJ. We might have to inform the Gov, lol.

Woke-up in middle of night to rain coming down in buckets and flood warnings in reports.
Grateful its not snow.

It’s perfect out right now!!! Almost “balmy” with clouds. Looking like another sprinkle maybe and that’s it! Low of 49 at game’s end!!!
We might luck out and have a dry or almost dry game, if the latest NWS forecast holds, as they decreased the rain probability a bit as well as the forecast amounts, now with only 0.04" from 1 pm to 7 pm, which is nuisance rain for the game (if, say, 0.02" fall during the game). Heading into NYC shortly. Go RU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picked up another 2.54” in Hunterdon last night, 9.80” for the month of December which, quite frankly, is ****ing insane.
Looks like the really big totals missed the city so stadium should just be damp but fine, maybe some drizzle this evening.

We absolutely lucked out! Apart from a bit of light rain on the drive in, there was essentially no rain from about noon until the game was over - and I don't count a little fine mist as "rain," as it didn't accumulate or make anyone wet. Mild with no wind and clouds ain't bad for 12/28 and, of course, winning the bowl game was fantastic. 7-6 baby and we finally beat Miami!! Haven't read the board at all - will wade in later...We might luck out and have a dry or almost dry game, if the latest NWS forecast holds, as they decreased the rain probability a bit as well as the forecast amounts, now with only 0.04" from 1 pm to 7 pm, which is nuisance rain for the game (if, say, 0.02" fall during the game).
