Oh sky PLEASE don't rain on our parade!

It's game day again in Raleigh, NC! Last week was hot and humid with minuscule cloud cover with a slight breeze throughout the afternoon. Today is a different day.

A cold front is pushing through the southeastern United States right now and it should be over Raleigh today, sometime in the early evening, right around kickoff. Chances have decreased throughout the past couple of days. The chance for thunderstorms has fallen from 60% to 30% with chance for isolated showers accompanied by thunderstorms after 2 pm. The forecasted high temperature is 92 for today with humidity around 65%.

The skies will be mostly sunny this afternoon for the Power Sound of the South's rehearsal, Parade of Champions, and March Around, but cloud cover will be increasing into the evening to mostly cloudy tonight. Unfortunately, band, we will need to carry our ponchos tonight. There is weather, and then there is band weather. If we bring our ponchos, it won't rain. If we don't bring our ponchos, the sky will open up its floodgates.

It looks as though the rain will continue over the next few days. What does this cold front and rain mean for our temperature here in Raleigh? Cooling off and feeling a bit like fall. It will not yet be jacket weather, but the temperature will be in the upper 70s on Monday and Tuesday. Quite a change from the 92 with 98 heat index we will have today.

For the game today:
1. Stay hydrated
2. Bring rain gear
3. Get hype!

We will see you all on the field! Go Wolfpack!
