Weather could impact Florida, Auburn SEC opener at Jordan-Hare Stadium
Rain and thunderstorms could become a factor when Florida travels to face Auburn in its SEC opener on Saturday night.
As weather concerns loom over the Florida-Auburn SEC opener at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the stadium experienced heavy rain during game day, with video footage capturing the downpour. According to the latest forecast, there is a 50% chance of precipitation during the 7 p.m. ET kickoff, with a moderate possibility of thunderstorms early in the game.
However, rain chances are expected to lessen later in the evening. Despite temperatures staying in the 80s after reaching the mid-90s during the day, winds will remain relatively light. This weather situation poses potential challenges for Florida as they face their first road test under new head coach Jon Sumrall. With lingering rain, aspects like ball security, footing, and special teams could be more challenging.
