THURSDAY UPDATE

No changes  at all. to the going forecast.

One reminder, however -- while this game starts shortly after 7 p.m. EASTERN time, it will still be 5 p.m. in Provo -- so, it will likely be in the 80s at kickoff and will stay there until late in the game, which should end not too long after sunset.

Heat should be a good thing for us, right?

WEDNESDAY UPATE

Not much to say -- there is virtually no chance of bad weather for Saturday's games. Highs Saturday will be in the 80s, which is well above average for this time of year.

Lows Saturday night will be in the upper 50s, but those temps won't be reached until near sunrise -- the temp at kickoff should still be in the low 80s, falling through the 70s during the game.

Frankly, we couldn't ask for better weather.

Starting new thread for each game ....

"Rec" this to keep it pinned.

Well, early indications are that FSU won't have the weather as an excuse this weekend (not that this will cause us to hop of the Excuse Express -- there's always altitude, travel time, etc.).

The latest run of the GFS computer model shows a tranquil pattern over the intermountain West.

While the early part of this week might be rainy in Provo, the latter part of the week and weekend look to be dry.

Here is a snippet from the forecast discussion from that area:

A MID LEVEL RIDGE LOOKS TO BECOME
ESTABLISHED ALONG THE WEST COAST BY EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING FOR A
DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE REGION.

More good news weather-wise -- it should be quite warm. The current foreast calls for highs in the mid to upper 80s in Provo Friday through Sunday, with lows reaching the upper 50s.

By the way, the elevation in Provo is about 4,500 feet.
