sixcat 2,933 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Current weather forecast for Galax..... WeatherBug App Thursday High = 58* Low = 54* 40% chance of rain Friday High = 61* Low = 53* 40% chance of rain Weather.com Thursday High = 58* Low = 53* 100% chance of rain Friday High = 61* Low = 46* 70% chance of rain National Weather Service Thursday High = 59* Low = 50* 40% chance of rain Friday High = 60* Low = 42* 60% chance of rain This move has to be related to something other than weather.

Saturday, while sunny, is only supposed to be mid-40s at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold should play Zero factor. Same thing for rain in my opinion. I actually think they should be played Friday night. If no lightening in the forecast, then play it as. Ice, lightening? That's different, but...the only thing about Thursday compared to Saturday is...... no margin for error if played on Saturday. It's the playoffs, so if somehow, someway, something happens Saturday, then that only leaves Monday with a short turnaround for a tougher opponent very soon to follow. Can't blame some teams for wanting to play Thursday instead of Saturday for THIS given week. Use Graham....they are feeling like they are winning with only 3days practice over Central (no offense Central), but they are thinking Union or GC the following week where things should be tougher. So, more prep if playing on Thursday instead of Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 So far Region 1D is showing that they aren’t scared of the rain and cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 After some teams played when Hurricane Ian came through earlier this season, this Friday should be mild in comparison. A little cold & rain shouldn’t stop a game from being played. When did everyone get so soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 That's the beauty of home field. Get better record and decide if you'd rather play a short week Thursday, rain Friday or cold and muddy Saturday, as long as travel isn't an issue.

I have posted an image twice but it keeps denying the post. Forecast suggests more rain for Friday than Thursday but during the game-time window for Thursday and Friday, they look remarkably similar.

I'm aware they're the same I'm just posting what they're calling for instead of just percentages and as of now they're calling for 1/4" Thursday night and 1/2" Friday night but I'm sure that will change throughout the week.

In looking at the extended forecast, the best chance of avoiding heavy rain is definitely Thursday, and maybe that's the thinking here. But the game-time forecast at this moment is remarkably similar regardless of which day they play the game. If the system slows, or changes course, Thursday may allow for the game to be played in dry conditions. That isn't a possibility on Friday unless something changes. But, that shouldn't matter with the turf. Either way, it's a short work week for most of us so it doesn't matter. It's a bit more problematic for those kids who leave school at 6:30am on Friday morning for an hour-plus trip to Governor School. It is what it is, we'll deal with it and move on!

Just to show much this forecast will change this week, now they're calling for more rain Thursday night than they're Friday night....lol.
