Game Day Weather

Submitted by mgoweather on

Happy Saturday everyone! And thank you for such kind words last week. We have a picture perfect day in store for us at the Big House! High pressure to the northeast of Lake Huron will bring light easterly winds and keep us dry with lots of sunshine. A short and sweet forecast - because the weather's just that good. Let's Go Blue!  

Tailgating

Not too bad of a start to the day! We will have some cloud cover from the overnight, which has helped us stay a little warmer - so we'll start the early morning hours in the mid 50s. The main issue will be patchy fog. Some of us have seen it every morning this week, and game day won't be any different. Just give yourself a couple extra minutes on the road. It will burn off with the sunshine, and we'll have winds out of the east around 8-10mph (leaves blow about) throughout the morning. 

Kickoff

Beautiful start to the game today! 70 degrees, a mix of sun and clouds, and an east wind around 10mph. Can't ask for much better than this! Even though we're into September, UV levels can still hit moderate, so if you're sensitive to the sun you may want to put on a little sunscreen.

Halftime

A gorgeous afternoon is in store for Ann Arbor! Low 70s by halftime, and with seeing some sun, you'll probably want a cold drink right about now! Winds remain out of the east, but they do pick up a little bit to a steady 15mph (leaves, twigs blow around). 

Post-Game

Right around 75 degrees throughout the afternoon and into the evening. We'll have partly cloudy skies and east winds at 15mph until around dinner time - then we start to have those temps dip into the 60s. If you're out late-night, we're down to 60 degrees at 10pm, with ESE winds lightening to 10mph. We do start to see a little more cloud cover heading into the overnight. By last call, winds will have shifted to come out of the SE at 10mph. This, along with mostly cloudy skies, helps to keep the temperature hovering right near 60 - not too bad! C'mon blue!
