Illinois Football: Weather Forecast for the North Carolina Game

Despite the severe weather that passed through Champaign last night and earlier today, and a flash flood warning in effect as I write this, expect excellent weather this evening for the game.

According to Accu Weather there should be clear skies and a temperature of about 70 degrees at kick-off.

It might be a little breezy, but nothing that will impact the game. There could be some residual dampness from the rain and humidity, but the FieldTurf at Memorial Stadium should be in good shape for the players.

For those of you tailgating this afternoon, you might deal with some generally soggy conditions, but nothing that should keep you away.
