There's just about a 1 in 4 chance a shower impacts the game, and if it happens, it won't last long. As the game wears on, rain chances drop along with temperatures... so throw on a jacket or fleece.

The season could get off to a damp and dismal start -- at least as far as the weather is concerned. Showers are possible during the game, especially in the 2nd half (though I know some of you consider soggy to be perfect soccer weather). A thunderstorm can't be ruled out, either. Dress appropriately -- both for the potential of rain and for cool temperatures mainly in the low 50s and fairly steady through the game.

80F75FRainy; Severe?70%
Only twice in its history has a United home game been postponed (those soccer dudes play through almost anything). Both times have come this season, against the Houston Dynamo. The first attempt to play this game, on June 4, was suspended due to severe weather, and Take 2 bit the dust last night due to a power outage (not weather-related) at RFK. Rain is likely during tonight's third attempt. But will any storms be severe enough to stop play? Certainly not out of the question.
