It looks that this Saturday will be wet ... with a possibility for thunderstorms. Yuck.

Only 30% chance.

Relax. It's only Monday. The forecast will change 5 times by Saturday. The WX people have no idea what will happen.

National Weather Service calling for Friday storms, nothing for Saturday (yet).

Accuweather is saying 55%

Doesn't seem like much consensus. Either way, doesn't seem to be anyone calling for all day rain.

I'd be more worried about them shutting down the lots due to Thursday and Friday's rains.

The weather pros on this site can correct me, but I work with the understanding that forecasting is only 20% accurate beyond 4 days out. So, I wouldn't focus too much on the forecast until late Wednesday.

If that’s a case it will be a huge mess trying to park anywhere remotely close

Hopefully the announcement is a glass dome over the stadium and tailgate lots lol

Little rain never hurt if it does.

I don't think it'll be anything near KU last year.

The Kansas game was a fun game even with the weather. It was nice to see a ground and pound on Kansas. Didn't it take them until the last drive against our 2nd string to get past the 50 yard line or something like that?

Gonna be moist

Yes. Friday night/Saturday morning looks troublesome in that regard.

I don't know about that percentage, but yes, after 3 or 4 days, you're looking for trends, not specifics.
I'd say early Saturday looks like a good bet to be soggy with a break much of the afternoon. Saturday evening/overnight redevelopment and placement is less clear.

And believe me, I won't be sugar coating this forecast at all. I have an 8 months pregnant wife I've got to drag through this if it's terrible, and there isn't any talking her out of it.

I don't think Saturday AM rain will get in the way too much, save those crazy bastards who will be tailgating for 12 hours.

I think everyone could live with this, just as long as they don't shut down the grass lots

 

[wxman1]

I am planning on the grass lots being closed.

 

[jdcyclone19]

It won't rain. It won't rain. It won't rain.

There we have it. It's not going to rain.

Oh yeah, it was an actually enjoyable game even though the weather was terrible.

Beyond three days, I don't trust it. I predict a beautiful evening!
