PLAY BALL!!! Radar!

[77]

Yep and they all end up with swine flu!!!

??? ??? ??? I dont think you can get the swine flu from the rain?

[friogal]

Ah... I see it now.... I couldn't see the state outlines at first. It's like one of those magic pictures you have to stare at for a while.

Exactly what I was thinking 

[skipper]

9'' of rain in silsbee before game time so the game will  be moved to west orange  ;D

[maverick]

True, maybe it will be Clear!  NOT!

LOL!!

[liltex]

Remember,If a game starts and is called by a lightning threat better be on top.This week if I won the toss I don't think I would defer to the 2nd half.This safety rule could cost a team that is behind a playoff spot by the loss.Then the posts would go wild.Would somebody breakdown this ruling please.What are the stipulations?

[Hupernikomen]

Looks like heavy stuff on a line from Waco to Little Rock if I'm reading it right?

Memphis to Houston (Blue Color) is the heaviest at 7PM, hopefully it will blow though quicker.

What in your experience is the accuracy of these forecast 2 days in advanced?  I mean I understand the chance of rain, but predictions that show the what the radar will look like seems a bit too precise.

I rember a few years back wos and bc got called around half due to weather and they finished it the next day from the point they left off.

NOT LOOKING GOOD AT ALL

[PURPLE 4EVER]

I believe the rule is there must be 30 minutes of no lightning to resume play.

I don't know if there is a time limit to call the game.

Another thing to remember here...

The further west and north you are the sooner during the day the rain will clear....

The PN-G game in Livingston game will have the rain stop probably at least three to five hours before it clears in the Beaumont area (assumming the weather is moving between 20 and 30 miles per hour).

Hopefully the cold front picks up steam and moves through the area in the afternoon.

And....

When the cold front does clear the area you would assume you would have a very strong north westerly wind blowing.

Heck lets play

[PURPLE 4EVER]

Heck lets play

AMEN!!!

Just keep the lightning away, with that, there is no playing.

A District game will be played out. May have to come back the next day but it will be finished. The only time you see a game called and not finished is a pre district game.

Just curious...

What if it is 35 to 3 with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter, can the coaches agree to call the game, or must it be finished?

Problem i see right now is the winds aloft will be parallel to the front causing it not to move real fast!

This is copied from the UIL Manual

Silsbee and Jasper faced this back in '06. Silsbee was leading 35-0 with about 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. A huge storm blew in causing a long delay. After about 40 minutes and the rain continueing, the Jasper coach decided to forfeit the game, thus ending the game with a quarter and half to go. Silsbee won 35-0.

(btw, that was one of the worst Jasper teams I have ever seen)

Let it rain just keep the lighting away.
