Well, stand down the big stormy / showery threat bombers. Looks like things will be slow enough to unfold, that the main shower and storm threat won't really be in play until late Saturday night.
It appears our probabilities of remaining dry for tailgating and the game, are higher than the chances of rain & storms until late. Can timing change? Yes, so, we'll just keep an eye to the sky. But, I feel a lot better about a lower weather impact threat for the game.
Travel safe and lets show UNCC some class while on their campus.
GO MOUNTAINEERS!

***THURSDAY UPDATE***
A better handle on things by modeling as we close in on Saturday's big game with UNCC in Charlotte. Pack the rain gear as it now appears that shower and storm chance will be on the rise late afternoon and through the evening hours. There's a risk for even a game delay, or two, if storms threaten the venue.
Will monitor data runs through the day.

Finally, it's put up or shut up for the 49'ers. I've heard it, lived it, rolled my eyes over it
. But, always cautious with these sorts of games, cause ya just never know until you know. Thus, it's time for a full removal the smug and show these mouthy "upstarts" the reality of their commuter school "football" situation; it ain't good. It will be yeaaaaaaaaaaaaars before UNCC can remotely be referred to as a "good" program; if ever.

Oh yeah.... weather...
Oddly, I'm posting from the High Country this week. ----------
Typical NC sort of Summer conditions will be in play. Muggy, hot, looking like partly cloudy skies, with a small risk for a pop up shower / storm late afternoon and evening. The 6 PM kickoff will afford for cooling temps through the game. Humidity will remain however.
----------
NOON: Mid 80s - Partly cloudy, heat index in the lower 90s.
3 PM: Upp 80s - Partly cloudy, a chance for shower / storm, heat index in the lower 90s.
KICKOFF: Mid 80s, Partly cloudy, a good chance for shower / storm.
HALFTIME: Lower 80s, Partly cloudy, a good chance for shower / storm
END OF GAME: Upper 70s, Partly cloudy, a good chance for shower / storm
Hydration is key for the afternoon of tailgating! In direct sunlight add another 10-15 degrees to the effects of the heat index on the human body.

As always...
GO MOUNTAINEERS!
