The Saturday weather forecast for Game 6 between the Angels and Yankees in Yankee Stadium isn’t terribly promising. Of course, the forecast for Games 1 and 2 were pretty bleak too, and those games went on as scheduled, with fans in the stands outfitted more suitably for a February World Cup ski event in the Alps than a baseball game.

AccuWeather.com reports that Game 6 will be threatened by rain, wind and the possibility of thunderstorms, calling for hard rain tonight and Saturday. The forecast allows for a break in the weather Saturday afternoon, with more severe weather moving in Saturday evening, when the game is scheduled.

The most severe scenario could call for heavy rain and gusts of wind up to 50 mph. October Classic, indeed.
