The "realfeel" temperature will be 97, and the winds will blow south-southwest at 6 miles per hour.
Fans tailgating before the game may need to prepare to find shelter. There is a 25% chance of rain for Saturday morning, increasing to 55% in the afternoon. The rain chance should decrease by kickoff, with temperatures decreasing to a low of 73 by the end of the game.
