What we know:
Most showers should exit the area by evening, but FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says a few could linger.
"It looks like there could be a few showers or rumbles of thunder tonight, but that's around 10:30 p.m., mostly as the concert's wrapping up. I think most of the evening should be dry," he said.

The closest Metro stations are Morgan Boulevard and Downtown Largo, both about a mile from the venue. The Morgan Boulevard Station includes a pedestrian walkway with direct stadium access.
