And even though the forecast calls for decent weather on Saturday, rain is expected Friday night.
But that doesn't dampen plans for the Battle for St. Pat's. The battle of the bands competition is still on, however organizers were forced to move the event indoors.
Now, it'll be held at the Elbow Room starting at 5:00 p.m. Friday.
