I'm tossing the old forecast and issuing a major re-write.

Friends, as it stands, on this Thursday post, this game will be one for the true Mountaineers at heart. We have a better sense for the timing of the cold front and the impact for fans, the players and those poor souls from ULM who will be in Boone for some football! I'll say this much, the weather advantage should be in our court.

The high for the day will be reached early in the morning. Falling temps, windy, gusty, a mix of rain and snow, and then a hits of just snow appear possible as Saturday unfolds. The bigger snow potential will hold until late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. I don't see travel problems. Bring your winter best, as you'll need it for the stands and even the pre-game tailgating. It won't be the Elon game all those years ago, but this one will have a bite. Seems appropriate given the overall good weather for home games this year, and it's our last home game of the season.

Here ya go...

6 AM: Chance for rain, mid 40s.

10 AM: Chance for rain, lower 40s, Winds ramping up.

NOON: Mostly cloudy, low chance for rain, lower 40s, blustery and gusty 30-40 MPH. Wind chill Low 30s

KICKOFF: Small chance for rain / snow, mid 30s, blustery and gusty winds 30-40 MPH. Wind chill low 20s

HALFTIME: Small chance for flurries, low 30s, blustery and gusty winds 30-40 MPH. Wind chill mid 10s

END OF GAME: Snow shower possible, low 30s, blustery and gusty winds 30-40 MPH. Wind chill mid 10s.

This will be the roughest weather game of the season. Pack the "Apple Pie", hands, and foot warmers, and bundle up. But come put your butt in the seat and cheer on our MOUNTAINEERS!
GO MOUNTAINEERS!

Should be interesting.

Got me rethinking this

I'll update the forecast Friday...

Laud have mercy! Dem boys from down there in Loosiana gon b a mite frigid.

Can't wait.... wouldn't miss the last home game of the year for anything!!

Thanks for keeping us updates on the weather all season sir!!

Woohooo! It's great to be a Mountaineer!

Well my bronchitis won't take that.....Game time decision....Giving My Alll doesn't include pneumonia.

I'm getting the stink-eye from my wife as I read this weather update out loud. This game will test her grit! On the flip side, this makes the push for us to get club seats even easier for me!

bcoach will be there... He wouldn't miss me rapping

Someone work for me, I'll be there!!

No major changes to the forecast. Pretty raw it's going to be. Yikes..

These winds won't help the current wildfire situation.

Isn't it like 70 and sunny at this moment, 24 hours before kick-off? We missed the good weather by 1 day...also "Apple Pie?" Are you referring to Midnight Moon Apple Pie? Love that stuff and it'll keep you warm for sure...or at least make you forget you're cold.
