Weather for WI @ RU: looks cool, but iffy on rain

[RU848789]

There's no doubt that we move into a much cooler pattern this coming week, as I mentioned the other day in the IL weather thread, given that we have a major trough coming through for the eastern 2/3 of the country, with plenty of cool to cold high pressure behind it for the week, with temps generally somewhat below normal (and our first freeze possible for areas NW of 95 on Weds night).

While we're a week out and uncertainty, as always, for this far out is pretty high, it's very likely we'll have cooler than normal temps for gameday, with high temps in the low 50s (59/37F is typical for 11/6). And with regard to precip, models are all over the map with a potential low pressure system on Friday into Saturday, with most models showing the system staying well to our south, but one showing it coming very close and another showing moderate rainfall for us. Going to take a few days for the rainfall part of the forecast to shape up.

Let's hope for some decent weather, as it would be nice to get a good crowd in here, coming off a huge road win. No predictions this week (I did predict we'd beat Illinois, but I rarely make football predictions) other than to say that I think this will be a competitive close game. We'll see.

@bac2therac can you give us the most accurate one please? Hoping it’s a nice day.

This thread should have been started this past Wednesday or Thursday. Why'd you wait so long?

Our old RU gang is assembling in NJ for the game, with festivities beginning Friday, the game on Saturday, then we're hiking the 73-mile NJ span of AT beginning Sunday. So, no doubt, the weather will be an added challenge. I'll be following your forecast closely, #s.

Sounds like fun - how long does it take to do 73 miles?

This thread is for WI @ RU in 2027...

We're planning on five days. Sunday thru Thursday.

7 days out is too soon to predict the weather. Any good scientist knows.

 

[RocktheRac]

Until Wednesday the forecast for the weekend is there is a chance of sun and rain. Could be warm or cold. Check back later.

Nah. I'm coming up for the game. Count on colder temps. It'll snow.

There should be no excuse regardless of the weather against a team we have never beaten. Unfortunately Ash killed the program with his lack of effort in recruiting and promotion over 3+ years. This is as important a game as any since Rutgers entered the conference . It is time for a signature win against an opponent who will attempt to shove the ball down our throats next Saturday.

7 days out is too soon to predict the weather with high accuracy. What's a scientist again?

This we agree on 110%. Someone on TOS asked me why I bother with gameday weather threads, as people should just go to the games regardless. I agreed, but unfortunately, we have a seriously fair weather fanbase, where actual rain kills attendance and even the threat of rain hurts attendance.

 

[RUBOB72]

Numbers I always agreed with you you just didn’t see it then... LOL.. The team needs to come out with the attitude that come hell nor high water we are going to punch them in the mouth all day . Looking forward to seeing US be the upsetter of the day.

Masks don't work

FIFY

lol, guaranteed lock/delete now...

Then maybe u should have thought of that before editing my post in your reply

You started it. Be better

 

[GORU2014]

Not sure why @bac2therac is posting about masks in a weather thread, seems off topic and like he’s targeting another poster for some reason which is against board rules, but thanks for the forecast @RU848789!

actually you started it with a mild jab and I responded with a mild insult and then you went to defcon1 for some reason with a post designed to get the thread locked... classic troll move but not unexpected...

no you ACTUALLY ALTERED MY POST in the quoted thread..own that

 

[bac2therac]

they do it all the time...

you started it, who changed someones post first

you are beyond childish...who alters peoples post like that...so I just gave it right back to you and now you are the one crying...really odd behavior

just say well played and move on so we can go back to talking about weather not this

Of course I altered it - it was a joke and I even used the FIFY to denote that - plenty of people do that. I don't care that you did the same, but you didn't have to bring in hot words that get threads locked/deleted - that was uncalled for. Let's move on.

 

[bac2therac]

then move on..I will delete mine if you delete yours

 

[Caliknight]

I’ve heard the OP post that when you beat him to the thread.


Is it an attention thing? I don’t get it.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Not sure which thread got more bizarre - the stones thread or this one.

Anyway I for one appreciate the long term weather threads. I know that it's impossible to reliably predict precipitation. But temperature trends are largely predictable.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

What do you say we stick to weather? Keenly interested in that. The other stuff? No.

 

[RocktheRac]

Numbers went and changed what bac said in a post, How the F can you go into someone's thread and change what they wrote? This is beyond childish. I don't care if it's a joke or not. This should carry a suspension of some sort. I just found out you can alter what someone posted by quoting and replying. That's more bizarre than the stones thread.

Why stop at suspension? There should be a public shaming before the Wisconsin game and an execution at the Athlete’s Glen! This is very serious!

I don't understand. People on this board alter other people's posts and write FIFY a lot. Is there something wrong with that? Or is this different somehow??
