They are the only ones I have found that are calling for snow. Richmond Dukes, why are they so off the wall with their forecasts? Are they normally right with their forecasts?

Looks like we're right on the cusp of some significant snowfall. Definitely something to keep an eye on. Would much rather have snow than rain.

1. The wife and kids will be there because we do BLEED PURPLE. It's homecoming, Ya bleed or ya don't. We will be tailgating with other bleeders. I would prefer no rain, but that is how it goes sometimes.

2. Tents exist for a reason. Stand under one. Turn up heater. Imbibe.

3. I sure as hell this game does not turn into the mess NOVA did a few years back. I worry about the weather more for it's ability to slow our offense than anything else.

4. It is games like this where I get to laugh, laugh, and laugh at those folks getting rained on while I am under my covered seats under the suites. I know it is cruel. You are free to hate me.

I could care less if its raining during the game- I'll be totally dry...

Weather forecast now is 49 and light rain, maybe the rain will stop by 3:30

Yea, forecast is looking a lot better. Little rain/snow, and winds sustained at 5-9 is way way better than it looked on Tuesday.

From your NOAA.gov site
"Showers likely, mainly before 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 45. North wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%."

In BOLD is the best part. Now, if it will just keep getting a little earlier and earlier and have it ending by noon. We'll be in good shape.

now up to 50 degrees - keep on going!

stop bashing our team - WE WILL BEAT WILLIAM AND MARY - JUST BE THERE

We're down to "Few Showers" and only 30% from 8 a.m. on on TWC hourly now. Much better but still worried about the Godwin/Hanson situation. Baseball lot will be fun too I guess!

Its going to mostly dry on Saturday. Wind and a few showers in the afternoon, but nothing drastic.

Tailgate ON

keeping cars off of Godwin and Hanson would be a major faux pas Saturday. Unless the entire day is a torrential monsoon the powers that be should keep those donors on the grass fields. For Homecoming, it is well worth the price of new sod in the offseason.

Just checked Weather.Com. Looking somewhat better. A 30% chance of few showers from 11 Am to about 3PM and then cloudy and about 50. Winds at 15 or so. So hopefully the weather won't be a complete washout for the game.

Overnite showers supposed to stop by 7 AM so l hope the grass tailgating fields will be OK.

See everyone tomorrow.

Go Dukes!!

Rootin!!

Can we get a live report of the weather from someone there? Is the wind blowing hard?

Wind isn't blowing hard but it is cold and raining
