*Odds as of Friday morning
There's just one afternoon MLB matchup on Friday's baseball slate: New York Mets vs. Chicago Cubs at 2:20 p.m. ET.
And as is often the case when it comes to day baseball at Wrigley Field, the weather will be a big story on Friday afternoon.
Typically, fans and bettors are more concerned with the speed and direction of the Chicago wind, but when it comes to Mets vs. Cubs on Friday afternoon, rain could be a significant factor.
With this in mind, let's take a detailed look at the updated Mets vs. Cubs weather forecast for Friday's game at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Mets vs. Cubs Weather Forecast
According to the National Weather Service, Friday's Mets vs. Cubs weather forecast includes plenty of rain.
There's a 70% chance of rain at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Friday afternoon, which certainly puts the precipitation right in the window of today's first pitch.
For more specific look at the weather, let's leverage the hourly breakdown.
At 2 p.m. ET, there's a 56% chance of rain at Wrigley, which then rises to 62% at 5 p.m.
That chance remains steady around 55% until midnight ET.
As is typically the case with sports and rain, the timing and intensity is always key.
There's not doubt that Friday's Mets vs. Cubs weather forecast doesn't look promising, but it's tough to completely rule out a dry enough window to get Friday's game official before a complete washout.
