With today's putrid loss, I hope we're not back to the days of just hoping for great tailgate weather, but if we are, it's at least looking like we're going to have great tailgate weather again with very likely warm and dry conditions, with highs around 70F after a morning low in the mid-40s (normal for 10/19 is 65/43F)). We're a week out and it's just about a lock which is very unusual (like the forecast for today was basically a lock a week out), but the pattern with high pressure being in control is pretty locked in and there's not a drop of rain in any model within 48 hours of the game anywhere within 300-400 miles of P'way.
