The Dew Point is the only number that matters. And the higher the number, the more moisture in air leads to more rain chances.

Below 60 is comfy
Between 60-65 is muggy
Between 65-70 starts to get uncomfortable
Anything above 70 is oppressive

Start times and projected Dew Points:

Sat. 2pm - 73
Sun. 8pm - 72
Mon. 6pm - 70

Looking at the forecast, don't know how they are gonna play on Saturday. There is a 50%+ chance of rain for virtually every day light hour of Saturday, and Sunday, every hour has at least a 50% chance of rain forecasted. Maybe they can get the game in Saturday night.  But even then it could be dicey with rain delays.  I wouldn't be surprised if Game 2 in played on Monday. If it goes into Tuesday, Dew Points drop into the mid 60s. It's gonna suck to be a fan attending this event.

Hazy, Hot and Humid with a chance of afternoon or early evening thundershowers?   Yawn!
May take all day, but with only one game a day these will happen.  They only need 4 or 5 rain-free hours each day.   So a 50% chance of rain in an individual hour means a 50% chance of play that hour.   Friday looks worse, but that might be why this region was slated for that Saturday start.

I would guess if they really lost Saturday to weather they would squeeze in a double header on Sunday or Monday.  

"It's gonna suck to be a fan attending this event." -  Ummmm, I guess this says something about living in Mississippi, but for those living in Mississippi it will just be a typical weekend watching an SEC team in their beloved state.

My point:  It's all the not knowing when the games will be played, sitting through rain with unknown delays. This isn't like a MLB season where if a game can't be played, they play the next scheduled game and re-schedule the lost one to another time. The projection is for more consistent rain potential than is usually the case. Hopefully as the weekend comes closer and the forecast tightens up, the chances of rain will coalesce around a few times of day, leaving more consecutive hours of rain free weather.
