Default Early Derby weather forecast
It looks like thunderstorms for the Oaks and showers all day for the Derby.

Weather.com always calls for rain. A week out is impossible to forecast. Accuweather is much more reliable.

This forecast is a lot less pessimistic than weather.com

As long as it's in the 70's, I can take a few showers. I survived the tornado warning of 2004, and later waded through knee deep water to buy a mint julep, so a little sprinkle doesn't scare me.

Just what we need.. A sloppy Derby.. Like it won't be hard enough to actually pick the winner in this bunch let alone find out who like dirt/mud

Something tells me the tri and super this year are going to be HUGE!

I know you don't mean that. If you go that route, put on a skirt while you are on the sofa.
