Xtiger69 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I just watched WDRB- Fox 41 weather and much colder weather than expected is on the way for Friday's playoff games. The temperatures at game time will be in the teens with a low of 13 expected. Who does this favor? What with the effects be on passing,kicking etc.? I think the scoring will be way down on Friday and turnovers up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the scoring will be way down on Friday and turnovers up! I just saw the same forecast. WDRD is the only station calling for those extreme temperatures on Friday. Let's hope he's wrong. I don't own enough clothes!!! I do think that cold weather favors the running game as receivers hands are so numb that they don't catch the ball as well. The QB can't grip it as well either.

LSURock Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Just checked the weather channel and FoxNews on line and they both are calling for low of around 28 and high of 42. Two key factors. Saturday's forecast is for a high in the low fifties on the weather channel, so Friday night might noy get the low that occured early morning. Second factor, no mention of wind in the forecast. Temps in the mid thirties without wind are pretty pleasant. Two years ago this game was played in freezing rain/snow and twenty MPH winds. We should see nothing like that Friday.

Xtiger69 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Thanks, but I hope you are wrong. :thumb: I hope I am wrong as well. First of all I don't want to sit out in that cold of temps. Secondly I think extreme cold takes away skill factors in a game and luck becomes more of a factor. The underdogs should benefit from this on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZinMaster Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Honestly this thread can be updated all tge way till kickoff, the weather forcasters are hardly ever accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smatting Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The most accurate forecast you will find on the internet. Unlike weather.com, this one uses short-range models. Check it out. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=Bowling+Green%2C+KY The link is for Bowling Green. Should be a nice evening, but it'll get chilly when the sun goes down before kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xfball78 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Watch WDRB weather tonight. Friday high-23 low-13 snow flurries. It's very hard to be a weatherperson in the Ohio Valley. I checked out http://www.accuweather.com for Bowling Green. It's posting for Friday high:52 and Low:32 with partly sunny skies during the day. When it gets down to the freezing level a couple of degrees does not make a difference. But accuweather.com has no memtion of snow flurries from thurs-sat.
