UPDATE: Headed to UK’s super regional games? Here’s what to expect from Mother Nature

Headed to the ballpark this weekend? For the most part, it looks like Mother Nature will cooperate.

The weather projects to be pleasant with chances of rain this weekend when No. 2 seed University of Kentucky baseball hosts No. 15 seed Oregon State for a super regional series at Kentucky Proud Park.

The best-of-three series will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday with game one.

The National Weather Service’s seven-day forecast projects a partly sunny Saturday with a 20% chance of rain. The high temperature is expected to reach around 77 degrees during the day and the low temperature is expected to be around 63 degrees.

The chance of rain increase late Saturday night into Sunday to 40%. National Weather Service meteorologists wrote in the area forecast discussion that a cold front from the northwest will push through the region Saturday night, that will result in widespread rain.

There’s also a chance for scattered thunderstorms Saturday night through Sunday morning. The seven-day forecast puts the rain chances at 50% and rainfall amount estimations between a tenth and quarter of an inch.

By Sunday evening, chances for precipitation drop to 20%. The projected high temperature for Sunday is 79 degrees while the projected low temperature in the evening is 58 degrees.

The first pitch for Sunday’s game is scheduled for 9 p.m.

A start time for Monday’s game three hasn’t been announced and will only be necessary if Kentucky and Oregon State split the first two games. If it’s needed, meteorologists predict a mostly sunny day with a high of 76 degrees. There is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast.

Tickets to the super regional series are sold out. Kentucky baseball said fans are encouraged to purchase verified resale tickets thru Ticketmaster.
