  "account": "Athens, GA - The Georgia football team faced rain during their SEC game against Kentucky on October 19, 2019 at Sanford Stadium. Our meteorologist, DavetheDawg, is tracking Tropical Storm Isaias and its potential impact on Saturday's Georgia/Alabama game. Isaias has strengthened and the weekend forecast is now more focused. The storm is projected to become a Category 2 hurricane with winds between 96-110 MPH as it approaches the northern Gulf coast. Landfall is uncertain, but the most likely area is from the Mississippi River's mouth to west Florida panhandle, with Mobile in the middle. The storm will likely move north Saturday, affecting the Tuscaloosa area with strong winds, heavy rain, and a risk of tornadoes. Alabama has a bye on October 31, and postponing the game isn't a priority. Similar scenarios have occurred before, but this storm is progressing rapidly and will move quickly to the north, bringing worsening conditions throughout Saturday. The Conference will likely make a decision on moving or postponing the game today.",
