As noted in another thread, there is a tropical disturbance heading in this general direction for the latter part of the week. We all know how the talking heads love to hype these things to the point where it is difficult to know what really is the best forecast.

Weather forecast has improved greatly. Only 0.03" rain forecast during the game. Maximum heat index of 97. Can’t ask for better weather in early September!!!
And traffic wise we dodged a bullet on the NW side. Had no idea that 290 was scheduled to be completely closed this weekend but they have now moved it to next weekend:
I was outside today at 11 AM and, if it is anything like that tomorrow, I will be happy. Compared to the Tech game last year, this weather will be fantastic.
Accuweather shows no rain through 1 pm so far. It was dead on at rice. I live by this app as I take public trans in Chicago. Its accurate. Very accurate.
Weather.com now shows a 50% chance of rain in Lubbock this Saturday afternoon for our game. And Accuweather shows a 40% chance of rain but it shows only 0.08 inches of rain.
Of course, weather forecasts are subject to change within the next 3-4 days.
