Lexington weather

[Lnghrn]

Lexington weather could really have an impact on the game Saturday.  There is a front coming from west to east into Kentucky that will hit over the weekend.   Lexington is in the central part of the state.  The front is expect to bring 40-45 mph winds and rain.  It has been difficult to nail down the timing of when this front will hit Lexington as not all sites show hourly forecast beyond 48 hours.  If this hits before or during the game it this turns into a run only game. 
 

I know there were concerns before the Fla game & it turned into a false alarm.   This Kentucky storm could really make it difficult to throw the ball if there are 40-45 mph winds combined with rain:  https://www.wkyt.com

Most sites are now showing rain free during the game.  The cold front from the west is projected to hit sometime between midnight and 3am on Sunday morning.  They are expecting wind gusts up to 20mph during game.  That is much more manageable weather than 40mph with rain during game.

“Night” is a rather broad term. As another poster mentioned the weather is not supposed to hit until well after the game is over. 
 

If you watch weather closely you’ll notice that prediction models almost invariably run early.
