Rain Rain Go Away: Postponements Plague Melrose Sports

According to NECN meteorologist Matt Noyes, this spring has been the wettest in Massachusetts history with more than 15 inches of rain. And while that may be exciting for fans of weather-related statistics, for Melrose High School athletes and fans, it's been a nightmare. 

With downpours passing through the area on Monday, the Red Raiders' softball game against Winchester was rescheduled to today. But with more rain forecast, even that game has been postponed and is now TBA. 

Other games that have been postponed today include boys and girls tennis against Wakefield (TBA), boys and girls track against Wakefield, which has been rescheduled to Thursday and JV girls softball (TBA).

Boys varsity lacrosse at Wakefield which was scheduled for today was pushed off to tomorrow at 7 p.m. along with JV boys lacrosse. 

While some games have been rescheduled however, the forecast for the rest of the week is not promising with a 70 percent chance of rain predicted until Friday. 

In fact, looking at the 10-day forecast on weather.com , you'd be hard-pressed to find any glimpse of sun until Sunday, so be sure check back with Melrose Patch throughout the day today and tomorrow for updates on any further cancellations.
