Weather.com's "future" radar predictions show some pretty intense cells in the Rice area from about 1 pm through 2:30 (the limit of the current prediction).

I hope it's inaccurate.

Unfortnately:

We are now in a lightening delay for A&M-GMU. Infield was nearly complete, but we are in a 30 minute hold

Tarp is in unrolled, but not yet deployed over infield. In place if needed

Quote:Rice Owls ‏@RiceOwlsdotcom 7m
A new lightening strike restarts the clock and the tarp is now coming on the field.

Weather.com's "future" radar predictions show stormy weather near Rice until about 5 p.m.

3 pm Aggie game is showing delayed. Rain or lightning?

"Lightning delay will end at 4:10.. Provided no other lightning strikes,we are shooting for a 4:40 first pitch #RiceRegional #RoadToOmaha"

1220pm Sunday. Heavy downpour in near Memorial @ Gessner, about 10 miles from the Reck.

I can't find this cell on the radar map at weather.com, but huge puddles in the back yard attest that it is real

The movement of the storms (SE to NW) makes it look like me that the low pressure has moved a bit south into south Louisiana (as compared to north Louisiana). Again, Baton Rouge looking really bad on the radar. I could see that day being just about a complete washout. I don't know if that would help UH or not. It probably would help SE Louisiana a bit.

But disclaimer - IANAM

Chron's weather shows the storm in Memorial moving northwest into Jersey Village.

Sure would be good for our arms if we could get delayed for a day
