Tonight's Weather

[The Viking]

Per US Nexrad site:
TAILGATE TIME 5pm: 64% cloud cover, 40% precip - chance of rain
GAMETIME START 8pm: 74% cloud cover, 40% precip - chance of Thunderstorms
4TH QTR 11PM: 81% cloud cover, 80% precip - chance of Thunderstorms

You know, it's been great weather the last month and right around tailgate time and gametime it goes to . Seems like it falls in line with everything else.

But maybe the wet field helps give us a chance for the upset, who knows. I guess that's the optimistic way to look at it.

Wet field would help if they could run the ball effectively....too bad they haven't done that yet.

Another reason for jokers to leave early.

It has started to rain in the Bristol area.

it was raining here in Southing ton too but it's nothing. Looked at the Radar and there's a massive band of rain heading our way. Futurecast had it it only up until 5:30pm and the rain was still in NY so hopefully it'll hold out for a bit.

I'm seeing % of precipitation anywhere from 10-50%. A big front with a band of strong storms will be in central PA around 6 PM according to weather.com. I don't think that'll make it to EH during the game, but we could get lighter rain in front of that.

Yeah some popup stuff likely from here on out but the heavy stuff isn't likely until 11-11:30.

It was just downpouring in west hartford. Only lasted about 30 seconds though. Bring on the wolverines b!tches!

I don't mind rain at the game. It's the rain at the tailgate that is a pain in the ass.

For all those at the game, the Weather Channel radar at 7pm ET shows the rain about 100 miles to the west right now, moving east at 20-25 miles an hour. If it continues at that pace it probably won't get to Rentschler Field until the end of the game. It looks like its only light-moderate rain with little severe weather currently imbedded.
