Thursday Night Weather Forecast - Updated

[fmbdawg17]

90 % chance of thunderstorms throughout the entire game.

Mother nature is not going to save Mizzou this week. We beat them down regardless whether it's beautiful or a monsoon comes through. I love that we are flying under the radar right now. Win em all, but take it one game at a time!

That sucks. We've had 2 weeks to figure out something in our running game though. Hopefully, they came up with something.

On the flip side, it should take the crowd out of it some.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Forecast models have trended drier. It may rain some but to not going to be a big deal.

 

[AlCoDog]

Rain is fine. That's football. What would suck is lightning delays, and starting then stopping, and starting again finishing the game at 1:00 in the morning. That is the kind of thing that causes crazy outcomes.

I hope this is the case. Fumbling concerns me

Why have they not considered moving Damian Williams to a running back and seeeing how he does just through this season???

He is under medical redshirt due to injury.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Because he is even slower than Shumpert. Good Lord...

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Our running game has picked up some since Shumpert has been out. Not that we are in 2014 form, but it's definitely picked up and inherently so has our offense as a whole. If we see Shump before either of our Freshman RBs on Thursday, we're in trouble.

 

[Shamoan]

i hope that we have been playing with moist and/or wet footballs all week in practice. mark moist off the list of used words for the day.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

It's often that it's very moist at my work and I choose to use that to describe the environment and it's often that I get shunned because of it.

 

[Go Budaw]

A little rain or maybe even a lot is fine with me. It will take the crowd out of it even more, and a team that hasn't scored a TD in over a month will have yet another obstacle to overcome trying to do so.

 

[RocketDawg]

The crowd should be smaller if there's rain, and particularly if there's heavy rain. My main concern is that the game could be canceled if there are persistent thunderstorms. It would need to be rescheduled since it's a conference game (presumably) and there's not a lot of time in the schedule for that. I suppose they could go with Friday or Saturday nights.

 

[AssEndDawg]

It looks like the main front is going to scoot south of Columbia. There is a smaller front with some scattered but strong cells coming behind it but so far projections have the storms running out of gas before hitting Columbia. Probably some short, intense bursts of rain. Like mentioned the worst part is going to be lightning delays.

Here is the projection for 5:30p:

Yellow is the main front, red is the smaller front.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Going to be really close. Probably a situation where it's off and on hard rain in Columbia and 20miles away they have straight line winds. If there's lightening within 20miles, is that a delay? What's the protocol on that in terms of distance of the lightening?

 

[TwoDawgs]

Again, does anyone know if the game would be rescheduled for Saturday if storms do not allow for game to be played tonight?

Rain is the great equalizer.......

So it typically has more of a chance to help the underdog.

 

[patdog]

That was more true 30 years ago than it is today. With modern drainage systems, rain rarely has much effect on the field conditions, and modern offenses are more able to handle rain as well. 30 years ago, rain would just about cripple most passing games, now it doesn't have all that much effect.
