With temperatures hovering around 64 degrees, the weather isn’t dampening the spirit of fans who are gathering for tailgates and watch parties, either at home or downtown, all set to tune into CBS for the much-anticipated matchup.
The National Weather Service provides good news for game attendees: the likelihood of rain is expected to decrease significantly after a 30 percent chance of showers before 10 a.m., meaning conditions should improve by kickoff.

Fans can expect temperatures between 61 and 65 degrees, paired with breezy northwest winds ranging from 8 to 15 mph and gusts reaching up to 23 mph.
However, as excitement builds throughout the day, it’s important to brace for a sudden drop in temperatures later tonight.
