Except that the name of the opponent is Real Salt Lake, not Real Salt Lake Crew.

Thank you for this service...

Thank for the tip about pre-game showers.

Scromy -- Looks like this was corrected ... probably a remnant from the name of the last home opponent.

Rex North -- note that the possibility that any rain will primarily occur before the game is small ... i.e., it could very well be showery, stormy during the game. Though if it's tailgating you're more concerned about, I could see how you'd focus on the pre-game part of the forecast :)

So what might the weather from 3 - to 7:30 look like if it's more likely that the rain will fall during the game?

If I were coming up from Durham for the match, I'd prefer a rain-free tailgate, then a rain-soaked match. The weather is a minor inconvenience after a proper tailgate...

Concerned Tailgater -- See our full forecast for our general thinking about today and into early next week. But to answer your question specifically, my best estimate is that we'll be rain-free downtown through 5 p.m. (maybe through 6 p.m. even?), then all bets are off.

Thanks, Dan!

WOW. Dan, not only are you providing a service to us fans with the forcast in general, but updating the post with detailed resposes to questions from tailgaters? Above and beyond sir. BRAVO!

Actually, Cheers to the whole crew responsible for this. Can't forget Jason either. Thanks guys!!

Thanks for the update!

Greatly appreciate this service.
