***FRIDAY UPDATE***

Whelp, pack the rain gear, have it on hand, just in case Ma Nature doesn't play well with the modeling. As of Friday afternoon, we have some timing differences in the data. Thus, I don't see a wash out, but, some patchy precip will be possible at times. The main rain event, should hold until later Saturday night and Sunday. It still appears, no steady or heavy rain is expected during the game.

It's Boone, and as usual, a lot will depend on which side of the mountain you are standing! Dense fog possible early Saturday morning as you come up both 321 and 421 and as you head off the mountain Saturday evening or early Sunday AM.

Either way, it's great to be a MOUNTAINEER!

--------------------------

I do believe we have a fuller understanding of how this whole tropical mess will be playing out for the weekend and early next week. I am pretty confident that the overall game day experience should be dry.

Increasing clouds will be noticed through the day, and there will be a small chance for rain by the end of the game. In terms of the big ticket heavy rain stuff, that won't be seen in the High Country until later Sunday.

I can't think of any good weather related reason why fans shouldn't show up, put butts in seats, and enjoy Homecoming!

I've been waiting for your game day forecast. Thanks so much.

APPStanding!! Doesn't happen near as often as I would like but I will be there with my oldest son cheering loudly!! We might even check out a tailgate?

Hate I can't make it this week, first time in over a decade missing homecoming. Looks like great weather again. Got sunburned at Wake game.

Thanks as always for what you do!

GO APPS!!

Rain could be seen early Saturday morning. I think by mid morning, if active, a solid break in the scattered rain action is probable. I don't see an all day sort of deal and I don't foresee rain as a major factor for the game. Any precip Saturday won't be associated with Nate. It's a different deal in play.

Up-slope zones are more likely to see the rain in the early AM. Fore example, the Blue Ridge Parkway along 421 could see the rain, but as you drive towards Boone, it's conceivable the rain won't be falling. Fog prone zones, heads up.

We'll see where things stand tomorrow morning.

GO MOUNTAINEERS!
