Re: Game Day Weather
Grain of salt until Wednesday when the 3 day forecasts come out, which are way more accurate. Still, I'm concerned about what I'm seeing.

Re: Game Day Weather
I'm hoping Ray's forecast is the winner, as he is still saying partly to mostly cloudy (which I'm fine with in August/September) and some scattered afternoon showers/thunderstorms...fingers-crossed.

Re: Game Day Weather
On the oft-chance the weather gets wacky on Saturday, App and ETSU share the same open date (Oct. 19). Just sayin’…

Re: Game Day Weather
No need to sweat things quite yet. There’s many variables at play and much to hope for despite the odds at the moment.
Looks like a cold front will be creeping in from the west. At 4-5 days out, the timing of that is still impossible. Nonetheless, if this offers some hope, most models show a distinct line of storms forming over the mountains and then marching east. Summertime storms in the mountains tend to initiate earlier rather than later so I’m hoping and banking on getting the storms out of the way before our 3:30 kick.
