A&M at South Carolina - weather [UPDATED]

According to TA resident meteorologist, Air Force Ags:

***19 Aug 11:50 AM Update***

Doc AFA Weather Forecast Record last year was 11-1. Thanks be to God and the spot-on Air Force Weather Agency Ensembles!

***NOTE: If you want updates on game day, please go follow me on Twitter...@Doc_Sanger. This is how I am updating my followers as kick off draws closer. I will also revise this thread once a day.

Well, it has been an extremely long offseason full of anticipation and anxiety as life without Johnny begins in earnest. So, I will not delay giving you the very first Aggie Game Day Weather Forecast to go along with a bold prediction...Ags cut off the foul-smelling chickens' heads and embarrass them in their own coup, 38-21!

BOTTOM LINE: If you are traveling to the game in Columbia, you will definitely need to pack your poncho and rain boots as showers & thunderstorms will be a good bet, especially on Thursday afternoon and evening. It is still early and things may change for the better, but seeing a majority of the 63-model members agree on rain is not a good sign (see probability of rain map below).

Midnight Yell Practice: Mostly cloudy, warm, and humid with a 30% chance of showers and an isolated thunderstorm. The temperature will be around 76F. Southeasterly winds at 5-10 mph. Relative humidity of around 90%.

Tailgate Weather: Becoming partly cloudy, warm, and humid with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms, increasing to 60% by early afternoon. Southeasterly wind at 5-10 mph with gusts to 20-25 mph near thunderstorms. The temperature at daybreak will be around 74F before rising into the mid-to-upper-80s by noon. The relative humidity will start off around 95% before dropping to around 60% by the early afternoon. The heat index will be in the low-to-mid 90s. Total rainfall amounts between 0.1 and 0.25 inches.

Kickoff Weather: Mostly cloudy, warm, and humid with a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Southeasterly winds at 5-10 mph with gusts to 20-25 mph near thunderstorms. Total rainfall amounts between 0.1 and 0.2 inches.
