World Series 2015: Updates on Weather Ahead of Mets vs. Royals Game 1

Game 1 of the World Series could be in danger, as rain has been coming down throughout the afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri. The first pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET.

Matt Snyder of CBS Sports provided a Vine from the field about four hours prior to the scheduled first pitch:

Weather.com's forecast paints a more optimistic picture, with only a 15 percent chance of rain at 8 p.m. ET. There could be a shower around 9 p.m. ET, but the inclement weather is supposed to taper off before spiking again at 11 p.m. ET.

At 7:18 p.m. ET, the tarp was officially removed from the field, per Fox Sports: 

Both teams took indoor batting practice while the rain had been coming down. 

Snyder wrote his "hunch" is the teams will play as scheduled. Even if they do, it appears the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets will begin the World Series on a dreary evening.
