With high 90s forecast and almost 100 Friday, will practice and any games be impacted?

For sure. There are workarounds, obvious by changing Practice to before school. And you will likely see game times pushed back until things get cooler.

Maybe we'll play the games in shorts and sandals....   ?

I'm already dreading hauling up all my broadcast gear up those long, long steps at Oldham County's stadium in the heat....

It’ll be a little cooler at the elevation though.

It's a bummer getting old.    Never cared until after the heart surgery....and now my knee is chiming in.    All the warranties are expiring and the parts need replacing....  

 

Another reason why teams should do before school practices. Whistle blows at 6am. Practice till 7:45. Hit the showers. Go to class. 

I thought I heard there was a new heat index rule this year. I was going to make the trek to watch Highlands vs CovCath, just want to make sure they don't push the time back or to Saturday morning. I know they aren't in the same district now but no way this one doesn't get played.

I would imagine we see a lot of game times pushed till 8:00 this week. 

? Pablo, it says hear under ... weather report ... it says a front of warm air is ... moving in ...

Hydrate.

I'm not sure if it's changed this year, but KY is one of the few states that used just the heat index. Most states use the WBGT method which takes into account windspeed, angle of the sun, etc. That method is actually a little more forgiving than just using the heat index.

Wet bulb temperature is also used. Wet bulb temp of 92 or higher shuts outside activity down.

I learned something there, thanks for that @rjs4470.

How about the Old Indian Weather Rock??

Any bowl games next weekend with an early game could find it difficult to get early games played.  Boyle's bowl, Pike County bowl at Pikeville, Marion County are all on Sat and feature early games.  Pike County Bowl at Belfry on Friday does also.
