Kentucky Derby Guess The Weather Contest
 
Well, it's that time of year when we all become meteorologists in anticipation of what the Derby conditions will be like on the track, in the infield, and making the voyage. In fact, a thread was started yesterday already arguing about what the weather will be. Since it's such a hot topic, why not a contest to see who is the best weather capper.

So, here's you chance to use your weather handicaping skills and win a prize.

What will the weather by like at post time?

Pick:
1. Temperature
2. Sunny, Partly sunny, party cloudy, cloudy, rain (Choose one)
3. Tie breaker (wind speed and direction)

ALL ENTRIES IN BY FRIDAY AT 9 PM. WILL USE ACCUWEATHER AT POSTTIME FOR RESULTS.

WINNER: Will receive a Derby Glass from my collection from years past.

Here's the DRF of weather - accuweather link: http://www.accuweather.com/

(Disclaimer: In case of tornado, Scavs is automatic winner but must be at the track to experience his dream)

Haha, this is fun....some of it's based on the forecast, some of it's just guessing.
