Next Xbox reveal tent almost done; rain due in Redmond Tuesday

4.7
The big day is close at hand for Microsoft's official reveal of the next Xbox on Tuesday. The company is finishing the assembly for the massive tent on its Redmond, Washington campus that will soon house a relatively small invited press corps and other guests.

Unfortunately, the people who have to go inside the tent for the big announcements might get a little damp while they wait. The current forecast for Tuesday in Redmond is calling for a 70 percent chance of rain, which is not that surprising for the Seattle area.

What a great day for it to rain. I feel bad for the people who have to stand in it.

Living in the Puget Sound area I can say this will not get rained out. We have gotten rain since the time they planned this. They built this factoring the possibility of rain, I'd bet on it.
