The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Wake Forest Demon Deacons will kick off at noon Saturday under cloudy skies but amid temperatures in the low 80s, according to the latest AccuWeather forecast.
While the wind will be a non-factor Saturday, there is a 51 percent chance of rain around halftime. With that may come thunderstorms, the forecast says.
The weather will be quite fine for tailgating, with temperatures in the mid-70s by 10 a.m. and a very minimal chance of rain.
The high of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and low of 66 is a smidgen higher than a typical Sept.
