Flood producing downpours possible. High temps in the middle 80s. Becoming partly cloudy at night. SW winds shift to the north by evening.

Should be a fun day followed by an epic night!

The key question is how one defines "at night." Big difference between the rain clearing up at 8 p.m. and the rain clearing up at 11 p.m.

It's not really possible to move it because you need to coordinate heaven and hell levels local government to run such a big show. The stadium crew, police, public transit, neighborhood associations, etc., are all heavily effected. They aren't all gonna suddenly change their plans just to accommodate our whinging.

Baseball games get rained out and replayed the next day all the time. I'm sure Wrigley has procedures in place.

It's not optimal to postpone until Sunday, but if Saturday becomes undoable, I don't see how a re-scheduling is impossible.

How tuned into the weather situation do you think the band/management are at this point? Is there hand wringing going on or are they like, it's Wednesday, it'll be FINE? I hope they wouldn't change anything up early based on a forecast. It's going to be wet Saturday, that much seems clear. The devil shall be in the details of the when and the severity of such weather.

Yes. Skilling's report last night sounded more promising.

Gonna be a blockbuster night!

I thought that too at first... but I would think concerts are more complex. Hopefully we never have to find out.

Yeah. I just assumed that they had the day off Sunday in between shows in case of bad weather.

rival.

if it rains, will the beer vendors give us plastic lids to protect our $9 beers?

Well let me say I highly doubt they cancel the show unless of course lightning comes into play and yes they do have Sunday open but, I have to tell you I have 6th row dead center for Wilco on that night at Pritzker Pavillion which, by far is acoustically superior to Wrigley! I would have a very difficult decision on my hands and since I'm also going Monday at this moment I highly doubt I blow Wilco off for PJ!

I'll be at Wilco, too! Of course, I don't have tickets for Wrigley 1. Hope it doesn't rain Sunday night, too.

Dark sky forecast is looking promising. 56% chance light rain through day ending around show time. Probably won't have a real accurate idea until Thurs or Fri, but I think we can bag the cancelation talk.

Double header on Monday. Noon 1st show, 730 second. Let's play two.

That would really blow my mind. Ernie banks would love it.

I was thinking the same thing. Next time play Miller Park! You always know the show (or game) will go on there. Not the same ambiance but hell we just want to hear them play!
