FAYETTEVILLE — The Southeastern Conference says it is monitoring the movement of Hurricane Delta, which is expected to make landfall along the Gulf Coast sometime this weekend and could impact games scheduled in the region.
An advisory from the National Hurricane Center on Tuesday states the category 4 hurricane is expected to make landfall in Louisiana late Friday or early Saturday. After it makes landfall, the storm is projected to move northeast across Mississippi and Alabama.
That path could affect multiple SEC games scheduled Saturday, including Missouri at LSU and Alabama at Ole Miss. Forecasters cannot rule out the storm making landfall in Alabama, which would affect Arkansas’ game at Auburn.
