Is there still a chance for rain? If so how much is expected? What about the temp.?

Looking forward to the game. Wish I could be there.

Here's the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

Friday night:
Partial cloudiness early, with scattered showers and thunderstorms overnight. Low around 55F. Winds SSE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

Saturday:
Showers and scattered thunderstorms. High around 65F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

Saturday night:
Cloudy with a few showers. Low near 45F. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

Weather.com calls for a game time temp of 58 degrees.

There is a pretty good amount of rain starting to form in western SD. I'm hoping it comes through tomorrow morning and clears out of here in time for some tailgating tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you for the update. I think we are in for a "Great" openning to the Great West.

You'd think that a sloppy field would give an advantage to the "bigger" SDSU team over the "quicker" Cal Poly.

The rain will also keep attendance down, unfortunately.

Any chance of having the grounds crew give the turf a good soaking anyway?
