The weather is not looking so good for the flea market. It is saying thunderstorms and 60% chance of rain.

Forecasts 8 days away that call for a chance of showers are always right. I can't think of one time that they've ever been wrong.

Uh oh. I just checked the Farmers Almanac and next year it looks like rain, too.

Exactly^. those crack meteorologists can't predict the weather while it's actually happening.

Weather.com is saying mostly sunny with a high of 75. Sounds pretty good to me!

If it does happen to rain, where will the flea market be located?

^ Oh, please no.
I would definitely not listen to weather forecasts this far out. Friday or Saturday is when I would worry. But, for what it's worth, accuweather on my phone is like 99% never accurate. It told me it was sunny one day when it was clearly raining.

I think it was about three years ago that - the evening before the Flea Market - they forecasted rain pretty much all day... In the end, it didn't rain at all. So you never know.
On a sidenote: if there's heavy rain, I think the Marriott Marquis could easily make a few conference rooms available or even the large open space on the second floor. Would be ten times better than the Roseland Ballroom.

I wish they'd just put it in the Javits Center so nobody has to worry about this.

Or at least the Barclays Center.

I imagine the venue fees for indoor options would be excessive. And since the point of the event is to raise money for the cause... Here's hoping next Sunday's weather is exactly like today's!

Random FYI: Earth has the most complex and unpredictable weather of any planet in the solar system. There are so many factors involved that no matter how far technology progresses, they will only be able to predict daily weather accurately up to two weeks in advance. So relax, buy some rain gear, and hope for the best.

Wouldn't the Javits Center be a problem like hell from 2009? Or does that have more space?

I don't think anything could be as bad as 2009 was. The Javits Center was designed for this type of thing, Roseland was not. That being said, unless the Javits Center was feeling particularly philanthropic I doubt that it would be cost effective at all to have it only as a rain-delay backup site.

The Javits center was obsolete before it opened. The location is a joke but there was nowhere else to put it in Manhattan.

I remember 2009 all too well. It was so hot and crowded in the first hour that I honestly felt dizzy. I remember there was a couch up near the photo booth/autograph table and that made it a bit more bearable.

2009 was scary. I got some good stuff, but I almost got stuck in a corner by the West Side Story table because I thought there would be a way to cut to the exit door behind it. No. It was a trap.

Someone tweeted at the BC/EFA twitter concerning the weather, they responded saying it's a Rain or Shine event. Not too sure what that means, if they'll be moving it anywhere but I'm assuming it means they won't be moving it due to weather

It probably means they will move it -- that's how it would still go on.
