Tomorrow night (5/16), Chris Young kicks off the U.S. leg of his "Raised On Country Tour" in Atlanta and apparently, he's got a friend at the Weather Channel to help kick things off.

This morning, Chris posted a video of an unidentified Weather Channel host saying, "Hey Chris Young, your friends here at the weather channel are excited for your 'Raised on County' tour kick off. Look at this: the bluest skies in Atlanta are so blue you can't beat this forecast. Perfect weather to kick off the summer concert season. And country music fans I know a guy, right here. Clear skies and great temps just as your dates are getting you home."

Chris posted to Instagram, "Kicking off the #RaisedOnCountry Tour tomorrow in Atlanta and the weather is looking PERFECT! See you guys soon! @jencarfagno"
