Severe Thunderstorm Cancelled

The severe thunderstorm warning just south of Omaha has now been cancelled. Look for the game to begin as soon as they can clear the field of rain. Here's the problem, there looks like a surface low has developed just west of Omaha near Columbus and this could be the focus for more storms popping up over the next thirty minutes. This is the worst case scenario for LSU who really want to keep Texas on the ropes. If tonight's game gets pushed back a night look for LSU to still be in the drivers seat to win game two, but I would favor Texas in game 3 if they manage to get it there. Mainly due to LSU hitters struggling to hit against the Texas number 1 pitcher. Maybe he doesn't get lucky twice with back to back gems, but does LSU really want to take that chance?

Omaha will continue to see scattered showers throughout the evening hours. Once the sun goes down these storms will decrease in intensity but could still see some storms continue overnight, especially along and around the surface low. They also have several convergence zones that could act as triggers for more overnight convection with dew points in the upper 70s. I still think the game gets played tonight but wonder if another rain delay tonight will impact how long the starters stay in the game. Temperatures have plummeted after the heavy rains moved through. LSU loses the long ball advantage with the weather, but I think they still win the game. Scores for both teams stay under 7. Advantage is a push, but LSU right now is the better team.
