Last night, Game 5 of the World Series was postponed due to rain during the top of the 6th inning with the game tied 2-2. This obviously keeps the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (I know that they are now called the Rays, I just like keeping the "Devil" in things) alive in the Series, albeit on life support.
It is interesting to note that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig stated that all three of the weather forecast services to which MLB subscribes indicated that the rain would be abating during the evening, therefore the decision to go ahead and play the game.
The game is schedule to resume on Wednesday evening at 8:37pm EDT due to continued rain mixed with some snow today. Here is the NWS forecast for Philadelphia for the next two days:
This Afternoon: Rain, possibly mixed with snow. Steady temperature around 39. Windy, with a west wind around 26 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Tonight: A chance of showers, mainly before midnight. Cloudy, with a low around 35. Breezy, with a west wind between 16 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Wednesday: A slight chance of showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 51. West wind between 15 and 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
