Update (9/12/09 - 11:15 AM): This courtesy of Steve:
Weak bands of showers are rotating through central New Jersey and will move through the Bronx this afternoon. These showers are generally light and should not cause a postponement, but will likely produce an environment favorable for delays.

Here is what Steve from NYNJPAWeather.com has to say about the lingering rain in the area. Everyone should remember to check out Steve's great website, which provides much more detailed forecasts than we have here. He also has a blossoming consulting service for small businesses. Definitely check that out if the weather conditions affect your business. Without further ado, here is Steve with Saturday's Yankee Stadium weather forecast:
Also, Steve wanted us to let the readers know that although he is a Mets fan, he will be at Yankee Stadium to see what it is like to see a winning team in a pennant race. He is in section 225, row 9, seat 3, so go and say hi if you are a fan of his weather forecasts. Also, be sure to follow his updates on Twitter.
The coastal low will slowly exit the region this afternoon with overcast skies and a few lingering showers. Drier conditions can be expected as the game progresses. Winds will back to the north around 10 to 15 mph. Temperatures will range from the mid to upper 60’s through the game.
Game Delay Potential: Moderate: Showers will linger through the start of the game with a potential for a delay of the start of the game.
Game Postponement: Low: The showers will become light and decrease in coverage through the game. With drier conditions setting in, I do not expect a postponement.
Series versus O’s: On Sunday, high pressure will take hold with clearing skies, a northwest wind around 5 to 10 mph, and temperatures in the mid 70’s through the game.
Rest of the Home Stand: Strong high pressure will take hold by Sunday night and remain in control through Wednesday. Optimal playing conditions are expected for the remainder of the home stand.
