On the heels of semis and finals in Mobile being completely washed out last weekend and co-champs declared, it is natural to wonder what the weather will be like this weekend since the events are in Florida.
I wrote a few days ago that there was rain forecast for Fort Lauderdale and unfortunately there still is. The forecast right now has actually gotten worse than earlier, it is now 10% chance of rain Friday, 90% on Saturday, and 80% on Sunday.
As a result, it appears the USTA is altering the schedule to try to play more matches on Friday which makes sense. The original schedule had some teams scheduled to play one match Friday and two on Saturday, now every team is scheduled to play two matches on Friday. Unfortunately, that means one flight each for men and women has two matches on Saturday and every other team has one match Saturday. We'll see how it goes.
The forecast is better in Orlando, just a 20% chance of rain on Saturday and 10% on Sunday so that is looking good for the matches to be completed.
But how is the weather in the Southwest? Palm Springs is sunny with 0% chance of rain, same for Phoenix and Tucson. Makes you wonder why so many events were moved from there to Florida and Alabama.
In any case, lets hope I'm not calculating EDNR National Champions on Monday!
