Gameday Forecast: Beat Mizzou!
Good evening, Athens and North Georgia!
If you made it outside today, you noticed it was a bit chiller than usual, with some breezes from time to time making that chill bite just a little bit more. Unfortunately, we are expecting much of the same tomorrow.
Temperatures will likely begin the day tomorrow morning in the mid-to-low 30s before quickly rebounding into the upper 50s. This should make the beginning of the game relatively nice, although there will certainly be occasional breezes (to a lesser extent than today) that will drive the apparent temperature down a couple of degrees. Nevertheless, after we get past half-time and begin to lose the sunlight, temperatures will begin to cool off rather quickly. Around the likely end of the game (roughly 7:00 pm), the temperature will likely already be in the upper 40s, falling quickly to the lower 40s by 9:00 pm. Beyond these chilly temps and gusty winds, however, no other meaningful weather impacts are expected, and the game itself should be realtively unbothered by the conditions.
For those celebrating (hopefully) another huge win over a top-25 team, temperatures will continue to fall into the overnight, likely bottoming out below freezing (with apparent temps likely falling into the 20s) overnight. Temperatures will rebound some into Sunday, likely reaching into the 50s again region-wide, but the cooler pattern overall is here to stay for the next few days.
Together, it looks like a chilly forecast for both the game and any surrounding festivities. Definitely be sure to pack some layers and anything else you need to stay warm. This type of cold is typically not dangerous; however, it can certainly be uncomfortable, especially with prolonged exposure. It can also be a bit more threatening for vulnerable populations — like small children and older adults — so be cautious out there for our first truly cold weekend of the season.
