For those of you looking for some good news with weather

First...predicting weather 72 hours out (which is what it was yesterday from the game) is a crap shoot.
Now that we are 48 hours out...things will get more clear. I believe we will have a pretty clear picture of this thing Thursday evening or Friday morning.
Disregard what you watch on TV this morning with the weather as they are using last nights info for the most part.
If you read the nerd sites early this morning, you will notice that the forecast of the hurricane has shifted east overnight...which could reduce the chances of landfall and reduce chances of rain inland in places like Clemson. It has also delayed in turning north...which again is good news for Saturday.
Again...still not great news. But MUCH better news than yesterday evening. Ignore the tv folks this morning and try to translate this weather nerd talk below...or man up and don't worry about the weather at all!

Scott, not worried about the weather from fans' prospective. Just don't want a game like this to be a slip and slide sloppy contest. Let's hope things clear up so we get good conditions for this big game. Go Tigers!

Regardless of the path of the hurricane, the "cutoff" low pressure area is predicted to stall over the southeast, and that will produce a lot of rain.

It's the low that's gonna bother us, not the hurricane. Always has.

enhanced by the Hurricane. If the Hurricane moves further east or is slower moving, the quantity of rain reduces drastically with the low.
Not disputing the low as the rain maker....but by itself the low will not be a monsoon.

moves it east... I hate it for tailgaters and all, but I'm much more concerned about game time conditions, especially if it came down to lightning delays. That would dramatically reduce home field advantage.

Hurricane Joaquin is only part of the weather story
Oct 1, 2015, 8:15 AM
|

Regardless of the track of the hurricane, the primary rain generator is the cutoff low which will be coming up from the gulf. Don't watch the Weather Channel's hurricane tracking coverage and think that if it stays out to sea, that everything will be fine. The hurricane won't be anywhere near upstate SC on Saturday night. Whether Joaquin feeds into that cutoff low or not, either way there is plenty of rain on the way. Either Clemson gets a hell of a lot of rain or a ####### hell of a lot of rain.

Absolutely right.

The path of the hurricane is almost irrelevant so far as the football game is concerned (almost). Of more importance is the moisture being steered in by about 4 weather features (only one of which is Joaquin). Tailgating might just suck. We park in the RV lot (Lot 4) and that sucker gets underwater after a hard thunderstorm. Constant rain? Oh boy. Models this morning are showing 7 to 10 inches. That's ridiculous. Even if it's half of that...well, I guess we can anchor everything down so it doesn't float away.

OK: here's how it works....

The moisture that is going to hit the southeast is already on the way. It's arriving in what you might think of as rivers of air, not in the hurricane itself.
This moisture is going to fall somewhere. Yesterday, North Carolina and Virginia looked like the likely dumping ground. Overnight, the upper level low over Alabama shifted a bit to the south. This, in turn, altered the steering of those "rivers of air" to the south as well. This morning, SC is the bullseye.
That could change of course, depening on the low. The only effect Joaquin has is (1) how much moisture it is able to pump into the mix and (2) if for some reason it lifted out of the Bahamas quicker, it would reduce the moisture flow later in the weekend.
Right now, you want the ULL to move, not Joaquin, if you want to reduce the rain threat in Clemson Saturday.

recreating the perfect storm only instead of George Clooney being stuck in the middle of it it's going to be Clemson. Pull out your waders and get ready to tailgate boys.

It's going to rain at least a inch Sat, that's going to happen. I just hope it's not a hard down pour the whole game. If we get 2-3 inches that could cause problems.

My main concern with the weather is players getting hurt on a muddy, slippery field.

I was actually curious about this (and I have no idea wither way).....would a rainy field reduce serious injury? Often times a knee ligament tear occurs when the planting foot gets caught by cleat or other in the turf. A slippery field would reduce the chance that there is an awkward plant with foot getting stuck. Again, I have no idea if this is valid, but a thought none the less.
