Summary

  • Rain has entered the updated forecast for Saturday’s No. 4 Notre Dame vs. No. 1 Miami game in South Bend, replacing earlier expectations of a mostly mild, dry day.
  • Morning fans attending ESPN’s College Gameday and daytime tailgaters are now expected to see intermittent showers with some sun, prompting advice to bring ponchos or umbrellas.
  • 40-degree temperatures are still expected at kickoff, with the game likely ending in the high 30s as clouds clear and drier, cooler air moves in.
  • 51 degrees remains the projected daytime high, but the update shifts the story from ideal tailgating weather to a wet start before classic late-fall football conditions at night.
