MPT: The outlook

Due to steady in Dillsburg on Monday night, the second semifinal game of the Mid-Penn Tournament was postponed to Wednesday at 4 p.m.


The winner of that game, which pairs Lower Dauphin against Northern, will play West Perry for the tournament title later that night at 6:30.



Here's the catch: according to the National Weather Service, there's an 80 percent chance of thunderstorms Wednesday. Specifically at 4 p.m. Wednesday, the chance of rain is 80 percent. That number dips to 70 at 5 p.m. and then falls to 30 percent the rest of the night.

Not a great forecast, to say the least.


If the tournament cannot be finished Wednesday, it will be moved to Thursday.

And, to pile on further, the forecast for that day isn't much better with an 60 percent chance of afternoon showers.


No word on what happens if the games can't be played Thursday.
