The Panthers and Cardinals meet in Charlotte in the NFL Playoffs this evening and rain looks likely. There are three hours on the hour-by-hour forecast that call for “rain” and not just showers.  They are 9PM, 10PM, and 11PM.  The game starts at 8:30PM EST.

The wind doesn’t look all that bad, around 10 MPH or so.  But the likelihood of steady rain is something you may want to consider as you analyze tonight’s game.  And if the rain factors in your handicap it is never a bad idea to watch the initial moments of the telecast to see what the actual conditions are as the game kicks off.
