Here are your Saturday College Football Forecasts: You’re going to need the rain gear for both locations.

Ducks vs Colorado at Autzen Stadium 12:00 PM – Cloudy with rain off and on at kickoff throughout the game, Temperature 53 warming to 57 by games end, Wind: Light increasing to S 10-15 mph as the afternoon progresses.

A high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch” shape) dried us out Thursday, but it has now turned our airflow from the northwest (the term for that is flattening as it looses it’s hump), for more rain chances today through the weekend. A frontal system is moving through increasing chances of rain, then another frontal system followed by more will continue the rain for the weekend into next week. An upper level trough of low pressure will take over early next week continuing the wet weather pattern.

An upper level trough of low pressure (the shaded ”U” shape on the jet stream) slowly moving into the Pacific Northwest producing the chance of rain and thunderstorms with small hail while lowering mountain snow levels down to the passes where some snow has been falling. A  frontal system moved through Monday afternoon increasing the chances for showers and thunderstorms. (I had a hail storm over my neighborhood at 2:15 PM that lasted about 20 minutes dumping enough hail to whiten the street and the roofs. Weak high pressure will dry us out a bit Thursday, but low pressure returns for more rain Friday through the weekend.
