USTA League Nationals Weather Forecast: October 19-21 40 & Over 3.5/4.5+ and 55 & Over 6.0/8.0

Given the weather issues in Arlington this past weekend, it seems my weather forecasts each week of Nationals are a prudent thing to pay attention to.

This weekend finds the following Nationals taking place.

First, the 40 & Over 3.5 men and women back in Arlington.  Here is the forecast.


Oh no, rain again.  Although Friday is on the tail end of a week of rain so perhaps it will be moving out, perhaps early, and the weekend will be dry.  This one will have to be monitored.

Next, 40 & Over 4.5+ in Las Vegas.  Vegas had no issues last week, here is this weekend's forecast.


Uh-oh, even Vegas has rain the forecast?  It is just showers and is Sunday morning so shouldn't effect round-robin play, and hey, it is Vegas, if anything the forecast of rain will diminish.

55 & Over 6.0/8.0 in Orlando - The weather in Orlando was fine last weekend for the 18 & Over 3.5 Nationals, here the the forecast for this weekend.


It looks warm and muggy, and a 40-50% of precipitation each day which is a little concerning.  But forecasts can change and even with some showers, they may be able to get the matches in, especially with all the courts, and a few indoor, at the National Campus.

So there are some question marks for each location, Orlando is probably the big concern, but right now at least it doesn't appear we'll have a repeat of last week in Arlington.

For what its worth, Phoenix has a chance of scattered thunderstorms on Sunday, but no worse than any of the above, and Indian Wells is partly cloud at worst the whole weekend.  Anyone think Nationals should have been there instead?

Let's hope the weather is better than the forecasts.
