As the third day of Leprechaun Days concluded, the clouds of an incoming storm hovered over The Pond in Rosemount. These clouds were both physical and metaphorical, with the former representing a series of scattered showers and the latter collecting in the form of the impending slate of semifinals to be played over the weekend.
