Weather Friday Night Coming UP
- Thread starter REWhitley
- Start date
I assume several schools will jump the gun by Tuesday and decide to play Thursday. Some games with longer travel may go Saturday.
A couple weeks ago a ton of games got moved over a slight chance of rain that ended up being gone by lunchtime in the Foothills and Piedmont.

I just think it might be harder to move a playoff game than regular season.
I know we need the rain bad. But probably one of those systems where it want rain that much anyway. Also the timing of it could miss game time. But have to wait and see what happens.
When I looked up weather.com it was only calling for a 40 percent chance of rain. The last couple weather systems have completely missed
The Graham star just posted robbinsville's game has been moved to Thursday at 7pm
If it is raining, that will probably hurt the gate too. So, I would rather be dry if possible. ☔😟

Imagine not playing a football game because of rain my my how times have changed!
Not worth tearing up the field, the risk of injury, nor the loss of gate money. Things are alot different now and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Well Robbinsville could play 8 straight game in our field. Probably shouldn't play a rain game just yet.
If you want to play in the rain, need to eliminate the ability to live stream games. Gates are too important to athletic budgets.
Just looked at weather and it looks like mostly cloudy now for Friday night here in Mount Airy so based on that looks like we may stay Friday.
The chance of rain for Friday keeps dropping in our area for Friday. But it can also go back up in 2 day as well.
Mount Airy Game Update, The best chances are morning rain shows to be between 7 am and 11 am. I do not see much of a chance of rain in Mount Airy for Friday afternoon & night. 19% chance around 3 pm dropping to around 6% at 7 pm. Other weather reports may vary. But as someone said, Mount Airy's game is a go for Friday. Enjoy the game and Go BEARS 🏈 🏈 🏈
