Superbowl Weather and I Don`t Care
UPDATE: Here's an Associated Press photo from the very rainy game:

As many of you know, I have No Interest In Sports [JessePedia]. But, since almost all of my readers do, here's the obligatory Superbowl Weather graphic:
Believe it or not, according to the news, which puts the chance of rain at 50% now, it has never rained during the Superbowl. According to the information I have at hand, we're about to break that record.
According to AccuPOP (praises of which were sung the other day), there is a 62% chance of rain at 6:25 pm (kickoff time in Miami at Dolphin Stadium [Killer Google Map], according to Google -- yes, I had to look it up).
And at 5 PM, AccuWeather.com RadarPlus showed scattered rain over the Miami area (the "X" is the approximate location of the Stadium, or at least Miami Gardens):
But the RadarPlus PredictiveRadar loop showed that moderate rain would start before kickoff time, continuing during most of the game:
Fortunately for safety purposes, lightning was not detected in south Florida at 5 PM, but that could change.
With apologies to all the sports fans out there, I'll be more likely observing Puppy Bowl III (with the Kitty Half Time).
