Charlotte meteorologist: Why cancel? Forecast improving

The chief meteorologist at News Channel 36 WCNC in Charlotte is questioning the decision to move President Obama's Thursday campaign speech indoors.

"It's a simple question.. if you had a Panthers game, Concert or Soccer match with a 20% chance of storms would you cancel 24hrs prior?" Brad Panovich wrote on Twitter.

"Severe threat is almost zero Thursday night & chance of rain is 20%," Panovich wrote.

Obama campaign officials have been saying all week that the event at Bank of America stadium in front of more than 70,000 supporters would go forward "rain or shine."

Why do you care? Why bring this up?

Too many seats and not enough butts to fill them all despite efforts to bus in church groups, students, and anyone else willing to attend for a free bus ride to the event. Could it possibly be that Barry underestimated his popularity in the greater Charlotte metro?

I am convinced that this is the only thing the rightes have to distract the rest of us from the repeated lies that their party threw out last week! Keep it coming idiots... your convention was a disaster! +1 for the dems!

Hey, the Dude was in Charlotte this week.
