North Dakota forecast

Post by jpfalcon09 »

As of now, lower 80s with an 80% chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Hopefully that threat of rain lowers throughout the week. Plan accordingly!

90% chance of thunderstorms now, along with gusty winds. Not getting any better.

We probably won't have our camper there if this doesn't change. Not worth the aggravation and pulling it in the wind is not much fun.

Pretty much canceling my plans entirely. I'm not gonna sit in anything less than perfect weather to watch BG play North Dakota.

As a running team, I'm not opposed to seeing our guys have to play in some rain. Especially if it can slow down BGSU's passing game even a little bit.

Don't worry dropped passes will do that as well.

True. You guys lost a ton of talent between the QB and WR positions though. These guys will get better.

We have a really solid front 7 on D, and it sounds like they should get a good test against your O-Line on Saturday. Sounds like a pretty solid and experienced area for you guys.

Some improvement...high of 80 with a 60% chance of showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorms. Still breezy though with winds 10-15mph in the morning, increasing to 15-25mph in the afternoon.

While this is true, it has more to do with losing interest in planning fall Saturdays around BG fooball. My wife & kid aren't gonna go sit out in crappy weather to watch anything. For me I might if it were a big matchup with a quality opponent, but no way I'm doing that for ND.

Hopefully the forecast will continue to improve and we might still make it out there. If it looks iffy though, I'd rather get some stuff done around the house and maybe catch a few games on TV.

Mid 70s. 30% chance of rain showers during the game. Why do they always have to have a home football game the week of the Black Swamp Festival.

Agreed. I did hear that the bulk of the rain will now occur in the morning and very early afternoon hours so that is good news.
