Mother Nature vs. The Cubs Home Opener; Who You Got?

Mother Nature is trying to mess up the Cubs Home Opener, but I still think the game will be played.  Although all the weathermen are saying there is about a 75% chance of rain well into the evening, I have reason to believe they can squeeze the game in.  Here is the picture of the map on Weather.com for 9:35 am:

I know that doesn’t look good, but hear me out.  On the website, you can see the way the storm fronts have been moving for the last hour or so.  It looks like the storm is moving pretty quickly in a northerly direction.  The storm will be directly over us from about 11-1.  Just based on eyeballing it though, if the storm keeps moving at the speed it is, it looks like it will mostly have passed over us by about 2.

On the other hand, Kosuke hit that crazy home run to tie it up in the bottom of the 9th at the opener last year, and it was hurricane-like weather conditions out there.
