Middle of August in the afternoon, not a cloud in the sky.....and the temps are in the low 60s. UNFRIGGINBELIEVABLE

We are in the spring that never ended.

[diggler]

I'm SICK of these polar vortex winters, polar vortex summers and what not. You may as well be living Near Hudson Bay for friggin sakes.

[Michigan City Wolves]

Summer finally decided to show up, as we are supposed to hit 90 later this week. Mid 80's the rest of the days

[diggler]

Skilling thinks maybe MID 90s by weekend...absent thunderstorms.

[diggler]

A real soaker headin this way.

Just looked at the Radar...Jeeez you guys can't catch a break.!

[diggler]

Actually the ominous bow echo broke apart before it got to LP county. The fireworks could resume again midweek though.

[diggler]

Well that was nice midday cool down.....and a soaker too.

[taxthedeer]

There is a major storm system over eastern Nebraska extending west to southern New Mexico that looks to be heading right in our direction. Looks like no game for me tonight.

Yeah this is looking like it might be a Saturday make up day.

Just watched Tom Skilling on WGN Midday news.

The team should not even bother loading the yellow submarines. Just postpone to 6PM tomorrow when it is going to be nice outside.

Last week the Homestead @ Valpo game did not kickoff until 10:15PM. I actually drove from South Bend the Valparaiso High School to watch the first half of that game.

The Hobart @ La Porte had to be called at the end of the 1st quarter then Hobart had to come back Saturday evening to resume and complete that game.

[Michigan City Wolves]

I bet you they will still play tonight though, The storms are supposed to be out of here, by 6 or so, as I heard 3 to 6 PM is the time to watch the skies, and the'll wait until the last minute to postpone it. Thats what happend last week. LaPorte is the only game that had to be made up in the DAC last Saturday.

[diggler]

Guess the forecasters weren't joking: HEAT INDEX 101

Witch means watches, warnings and all that other nasty friggin weather stuff later on.

[diggler]

Couple of storm lines already forming out to the west. Batten down the hatches.

The game will be carried on wimsradio.com tonight. If the start of the game is delayed and they anoounce the teams are taking the field for warmups then I will head over to Chesterton.
