2017 Winter Classic: Rain could delay Blackhawks vs. Blues outdoor game on Monday

The 2017 Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues could be delayed due to a weather forecast that includes warm temperatures and an 80 percent chance of rain, reports Dan Caesar of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The outdoor game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis is set for noon CT on Monday afternoon. The game will be broadcast nationally on NBC, and figures to be one of the Blackhawks’ biggest matchups of the season, at least in terms of fanfare.

But the weather forecast for St. Louis on Monday includes a temperature around 60 degrees and a high probability of rain, with some potential for thunderstorms.
