Mississippi State Baseball Forecast: Rain, Rain, Go Away
We all know that a weather forecast for Starkville is difficult enough on a normal day. Add in the fact that we have a chance for wintry weather late in the weekend, and you have yourself the makings for an interesting forecast. The setup that we have is a interesting one as a warm front will come through the area on Friday. The warmth will stick around through Saturday, but a cold front will follow closely around Sunday afternoon. Sadly, with all of these fronts and boundaries moving through, that means the rain chances will be fairly high.
With these high rain chances, we also get a high chance for rain delays this weekend. Even with the game times moved up, I don’t think we’re going to be able to avoid the inevitable rain delay this weekend. So without further adieu, let’s get right to what you all want to know for this weekend.
