Game Day Weather @MSU Nov 2: 47 degrees, 30% chance rain showers, 10 mph winds
Perhaps not trash tornado worthy, but will be interesting to see how the weather affects ball security and errant throws on both sides.

I really hope it stays dry. We don't want to play in a slopfest. It always seems to be really windy there, though.

Why are we getting a weather report on Wednesday for game that will be played on Saturday?

I Have a Gnarly Face = Wolverines Dominate, am I right? Same angry posting style and the avatar just has the colors reversed.

Normal fall weather: 35 and rainy Wednesday, 65 and sunny Thursday, 28 and a foot of snow Friday, followed by a 55 degree overcast saturday afternoon.

It's 64 in Grand Rapids right now. Weird.

Based on this, it doesnt sound like weather will be a factor.
A 30% chance of rain is pretty low and winds that top out at 10 MPH probably wont matter. The wind listed on weather.com seems to always be at 7 MPH or higher.

Basically the same weather as the IU game
October 30th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
I sure hope not.

LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING WINDS AND RAIN TO LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. RAIN WILL ARRIVE TONIGHT AS A WARM FRONT PUSHES INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. THE RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. WINDS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY NIGHT WITH SOME GUSTS TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES. THE LOW WILL PULL AWAY ON FRIDAY WITH FAIR AND COOL WEATHER EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND.
NOAA lists a 50% chance of rain for Saturday with a high temperature of 48 degrees. Appears the main storm -- which will impact Michigan starting tonight through Friday -- will be gone but a weak surface low will impact Michigan Friday night into Saturday, bringing spotty chances for rain.
Hopefully it will be light and showery, if it rains at all.

I could be watching the game from my office if that is the forecast and we end up with enough people out of lights. Here's to wishing for little or no storm work this weekend, I suppose.
October 30th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
Yeah apparently it will depend on how much rain we get. More rain tonight/tomorrow/tomorrow night would mean wind can't make it to the surface as easily, which would minimize wind damage. So for your sake let's hope the sky opens up tomorrow and we can dry out Friday and Saturday!

the Spartan crowd, or would a trashnado at Michigan stadium bring similar results?

double post

I'll take overcast and slightly windy on gameday, if only to discourage any bush league skywriting nonsense.

UGH...That sounds brutal.

There's a trash tornado watch! Trash tornado or not, I hope Michigan can play tough and win!

Not sure we want to be in a field position battle with MSU, their punter is stellar.
October 31st, 2013 at 10:08 AM ^
I don't agree. First, I think we are better offensively than MSU, but our advantage is mostly in the passing game. In rainy conditions, it's harder to throw the ball so it becomes more of a ground-based game, and I'm not sure we can win that way.
October 30th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
I figure it's going to be mostly gloomy with a chance of victory. With a loss fast-moving storm will roll in - head for shelter immediately.

We are going to win. That is all you need to know.
