GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 and the forecast is for more wind (10-15mph w/gusts to 25) tonight. If it keeps blowing the way it is now, it will definitely affect the passing game tonight at Mitchell Stadium...and it could get a little wet this evening too...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 How well does Mitchell typically handle wind? Looks like it should be pretty well shielded on all sides. The rain is supposed to hold off until after the game but you never know I guess. I hope it holds off or else I won't be able to take pictures.

[/ QUOTE ] The wind usually swirls inside the stadium...if it continues coming out of the S/SW like it is right now, it will be blowing from the open end (concession/parking lot end) toward the scoreboard end of the stadium for the most part and will swirl once it gets to that end and butts up against the hillside cuts. So far this morning, the wind has been a steady 10-12mph with gusts to 20-24mph. I looked at the radar just a little while ago, the heavy, steady stuff is still over in KY but some lighter, "stray" showers are already into SWVA...fortunately most of it is virga (not reaching the ground) and the humidity is still in the 60-70% range so the atmosphere is still too dry for any significant precip in the near future. I'll keep everyone updated through the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaverteeth 10 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I can't believe rhs fans haven't taken this opportunity to say that the wind is coming from richlands and is getting stronger as it approaches up 460.. but we could do without that. But Im pretty sure that mitchell stadium is always tornado proof!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano5 14 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 haha our principal talked to Richlands and stupidly mentioned that it was very windy and might rain tonight for the game and he said their principal didnt even miss a beat and said "The Storm is coming." so our principal said something like it will be nothing more than a few rain clouds and some wind...but it was quite funny...i guess you had to be there...
