Good meteorological detective work Frank but remember several of the “no actual rain” Fridays looked like the sky was going to fall and that kept the participants down to a minimum. Either way looks like Zaino for shut-ins tonight for me!

Thanks for the analysis

not valid though, that is not for Rolling Meadows...that's for Wheeling.

And even on those days its did not rain I remember on Friday June 6th, we were under a Tornado Watch for the entire day and that alone killed all the shows. Even the darn threat of rain if not a drop comes usually kills 75% of attendance at a cruise night!

I am going to break the Friday Night Curse and take my 1970 Charger to Mopar night at Downer's Grove today!

I was picturing poor Frank poking his cell phone at fevered pitch to gather that info. Then I figured he’s probably doing it from a local gentlemen’s club during a lull in the entertainment!

This fukn curse is something else... about 4:15 today it got dark as hell..certain it was going to downpour, but never did..some of that moved out, but it is still cloudy..low and behold if one of us heads over there it will probably rain.
I guess we were just not meant to enjoy Rolling Meadows this summer.

Update- totally clear now and sunny/hot

Only time weather holds up on Friday is when I take the Charger to Downers Grove like I did tonight and it was great turnout as usual (and was Mopar Night)!

I Guess I can only go to Downer's Grove this summer on fridays!
