Gainesville Weather Forecast

[87&91ALUM]

And we have a running QB. May be a coming out party for JG. Just saying.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

90% chance of Thunderstorms. Will be nasty in the swamp. Whoever wins in the trenches wins the game.

All this means is we're winning 19-6.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Bob Shoop's gonna surprise everyone. This is the game we see the real defense

Not me.

I've been saying we have a dominant defense.

 

[SoFloVFL]

I don't trust any weather forecast 4 days out.

 

[dd4vols]

Let's hope Dormady has been practicing with wet balls?

sounds like this belongs on the Penn State board.............

 

[orangefreak21]

Their QBs couldn't play in a controlled environment against Michigan I doubt they learn to play in rain against the Vols.

Just hope for no lightening. Game will be delayed.

 

[37620VOL]

Let's hope Dormady has been practicing with wet balls?

Maybe we should all take a pole together on how screwed we are if we fail to practice with wet balls?

 

[ajvol01]

Crazy Legs will be unstoppable in the slop. He's hard enough to bring down on a field with good footing.

Clausen's playing?

It's Florida weather. Forecast could go to a 10% chance of rain tomorrow. I'll be in Gainesville supporting the big orange.

Lol

If your offense sucks the last thing you want is rain. This may actually benefit us for a change.

 

[dduncan4163]

Expect a bunch of turnovers

That's what I was thinking as well...

 

[1725gatorhater]

Someone needs to show the team the 2002 game.... seriously.

That was 15 years ago. 10 years before that 2002 game we beat their ass 31-14 in a down pour in Knoxville and Florida scored very late to make it 14.

 

[SmokinBob]

We need to score fast and score lots...a lightning delay could result in a called game depending on the circumstances!

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Seeing 50% chance of thunderstorms through 4pm and then it drops to 20% the rest of the evening.

 

[BACKDOC]

90% chance of Thunderstorms. Will be nasty in the swamp. Whoever wins in the trenches wins the game.

A student majoring in that field at UAH once told my son, "we can only give an accurate weather forecast for 48 hours out."

General rule of thumb seems to be:

More than five days out is completely and utterly useless. Like, you shouldn't even be looking. If you have to make a weather-based decision this far out, for some reason, just assume average weather for that time of year.

Three to five days out can give you a decent general idea, but there could be significant changes in timing and whatnot.

Like you said, within 48 hours is generally pretty good unless something weird and unpredictable is happening.

Nice call. Frogg Toggs loaded. Heading out in the morning.

 

[508mikey]

Well if there is lightning they will push it back until it stops. From that forecast it looks like the storm will stop around kickoff or shortly thereafter. As long as it's not storming during the game we will be fine. If it's storming during the game it's always going to be a toss up because there will inevitably be like 6 fumbles for each team and it will be a slop fest.

WC is not a good source -- NOAA is better

 

[madbamahater]

So if there are thunderstorms there could be long delay(s) or possible cancellation......

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Hold on.

It's September, the last weeks of summer. In Florida.

Isn't there ALWAYS a 50% chance of afternoon thunderstorms?

There was when I lived there. I doubt anything has changed.

We've been playing in the Swamp every odd year for a couple of decades now. I don't think this is unexpected.

Go Vols!
