NYC Weather: Trouble for 4 PM Tennis

Monday, 13 September 2010 | by Pat's Picks

I just got my morning briefing from our NY1 meteorologist. It’s still almost 12 hours away, but based on what we know so far the USTA couldn’t have picked a worse time for the re-scheduled men’s singles final. After some drizzle this morning, it’s supposed to be dry for most of the day.

But there’s a cold front coming tonight that may trigger some showers late in the day. The threat of showers looks like it will pick up at 4 pm, which is exactly when the rain-delayed tennis match is supposed to begin. There’s no guarantee of rain at 4 pm. But a 1 pm start would have been a lot safer.
