Chicago posters: Weather update

[Willie Bee]

Showing winds SE at 15-25 MPH today in Chicago which would mean blowing out to the LF corner. Just wondering if that's holding true presently for the Wrigleyville area? Thanks for any help.

I just took a stroll down the block, it was fairly calm felt wind coming from the east maybe 5-8 mph but not from the south.... I'm about 3 miles from wrigley field, maybe i'll take a drive up there and make a weather vid before 1:20

[pavyracer]

How do you feel 5-8 mph wind?

[Chi_archie]

same with your wife has to feel for and finally find your little pecker.... very carefully

this is basic wiffle ball 10 year old stuff Pavy, pick up some grass and throw it, and lick your finger and put it up in the air

[Willie Bee]

Thanks Arch. We were looking at that over at 10½ with Harang and Crazy Charlie Z on the hill, sort of expected a lower total with them and could only reckon it had to do with the wind.

I use this for $30. With $500 or more per game daily I want to make sure instead of using grass. I'm a serious bettor.

[Chi_archie]

you only do this for braves games? or do you fly to all the stadiums?

Pavy, you really got one of those little suckers? Been wanting to get an anemometer for the house to add to my weather data collection, just wondering if that thing works since it's definitely within my tightwad price range.

They are located just north of Chicago. I bet you they are wind tested in the wind city.

[ChuteBoxe]

I'm showing 10-15MPH at game time, wind blowing out to left, with a temp of 59 degrees.

[Willie Bee]

Thanks Pavy, thanks Chute.

I use that plus generally go to at least one other source (in this case, WGN) to see what they have to say. Both were reporting SE winds this morning with different speeds, hence the reason I asked for someone there to chime in.

[Flyers09]

ESE

[Flyers09]

weather . com says

From the South Southeast 17 mph

[The HG]

mlb.com has "12 mph, R to L"

I'm thinking of taking a big shot on the under

[Brock Landers]

Zambrano hasn't been too good so far, Harang has been on top of his game, take the + money

[EaglesPhan36]

Harang gets banged almost every start at Wrigley. Cubs should get at least 5. Big Z is the wildcard.

[Chi_archie]

just got back from Wrigley.....


wind was moderate...blowing from right to left and maybe slightly angled out to left a bit.....according to the flags...

anywho, the info is too late, but i'll post the vids anyways
