A high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) moves in and warms us up for the holiday weekend. The Beavers will be home against Sacramento State Saturday at 1PM and the weather will be bright, sunny, dry and quite warm with the high temperature 90-92 (hotter on the field). The Ducks will play against LSU in Arlington, Texas with game time at 5 PM and it will be sunny and hot with high temperature about 101 degrees then slowly cooling as the game progresses. Don’t know if the roof on the stadium there will be open or closed which would make a difference in the conditions on the field.
