Summer-like weather continues, chance of rain on gameday

The forecast has not changed much in the last 24 hours. Highs will still reach the low to mid 80s today and tomorrow amidst plenty of sunshine as high pressure expands further east toward Michiana. The placement of the pressure ridge this weekend will heavily influence our rain chances on Saturday as thousands get ready for tailgating and the Notre Dame home opener. For now, expect a few isolated showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and evening. No major delays or severe weather are expected, but a random thunderstorm could cause a brief pause in the game early on. Temperatures will be at their warmest Saturday and Sunday with some communities in Michiana potentially seeing the mid to upper 80s.

Today: Sunny. High 82.

Tonight: Clear. Low 54.

Friday: Mostly sunny. High 84.

Saturday: Isolated thunderstorms. High 86.
