    Bowl Games weather reports

    Please only post if you live or have a reliable contact in the vicinity of the stadium.

    Right now I'm very interested in Cure Bowl (Orlando) wind situation for Saturday. Current forecast shows just 5-10 mph for Saturday/Saturday night. Hopefully someone posts on Friday or Sat morning with an update.

    Thank you.

    Who would have thunk NM can ever have bad weather! Made some cash betting under In-Play. They showed these practice kicks and it was obvious NFL length XP or any FG over 30 yards would be a major challenge, if kicked into the wind anyway

    Another request: I don't always get a good feed on stream2watch so if you are watching on TV, please post your observations here as soon as the weather discussed/confirmed by the announcers. For instance, I wasnt' watching the BYU game and didn't realize it was raining until the 2Q...

    Great football weather in Glendale tomorrow.


    Tonight
    Partly cloudy, with a low around 53. Calm wind becoming east northeast around 5 mph.
    Monday
    A 10 percent chance of showers after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 71. East wind around 5 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon.
    Monday Night
    Partly cloudy, with a low around 50. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.


    And if anything goes wrong... the roof takes under 15 minutes to cover the playing field.


    Great conditions for the Clemson team to take pleasure in shoving it down Saban's throat.
