The Northwoods League officially begins play for the 2012 season tonight and the Rochester Honkers will be kicking off their season on the road in Waterloo.  The two teams will meet up again tomorrow night, but in Rochester as the Honkers will play their first home game of the season with a taste of fall in the air.  A storm system from the west will bring rain showers to the region later this evening, but likely won’t reach Waterloo until after tonight’s game.  That same storm system will keep some showers around through tonight and tomorrow morning with just a few isolated showers or scattered sprinkles possible by afternoon and evening tomorrow locally, meaning the game in Rochester likely won’t have to worry too much about inclement conditions.  However, it won’t be a very summer-like evening for the game as temperatures will be mainly in the 50s with light northeast winds.  Here’s the KTTC Honkercast:

Just a slight chance for a stray sprinkle or two in the area at first pitch Thursday night. Otherwise, it'll be sweater or windbreaker weather for the baseball game.
