Despite the nasty weather, the outdoor-music portion of Friday night's Raleigh Wide Open festivities went off pretty well. Saturday's forecast calls for continued storm-related ugliness in the morning, with things clearing off by afternoon. So the plan is to press on and have bands start playing at noon, as planned, or as soon after that as possible. Depending on how that goes, some acts might have to play shortened sets to get everyone in.

Check here for the complete schedule.

NOON UPDATE: Everything has been pushed back to later in the afternoon, due to lingering wind and rain. Events will commence as follows:

Plaza Stage -- Starts at 2:15 p.m.
Cherry Bounce Stage -- Starts at 2:45 p.m.
Main Stage -- 3:30 p.m.

The parade is still on for 6 p.m.

Some acts will be canceled, while others will shorten their sets. One cancellation is Tres Chicas, who were scheduled for 2 p.m. But Caitlin Cary is still scheduled to play this evening's Coalition to Unchain Dogs benefit in Durham.
