The Weather.com hourly forecast doesn't quite reach the 6PM gametime but it will be in the high 30's with rain and 10+mph NNE wind in Lake Charles.

Balmy, by Missoula standards.

I don't mind the cold that much, it is the fricking blowing rain that I don't like. I'll have to get the rain gear out for both me and my camera.

I know a swab of Texas through Arkansas and further up will face ICY conditions. Far worse than just snow and cold. I'm leaving work in a few minutes to make it home without wrecking. Then I'm sliding my way to my sons football award ceremony. Hopefully that won't last too long..

Don't think we'll have much rain ... temps should be in the mid 40's with light rain early, tapering off in the afternoon ... could get a passing drizzle or two but probably not before the second half. Of course, as is usually the case in south Louisiana, the forecast will change 50 times between now and kickoff. But looks like we'll be okay, other than being a tad chilly.

EDIT: Just checked again ... now saying 20% chance of rain, 10% around kickoff ... it's be back up to 60% in another hour or two. xcoffeex

I hope the bad weather doesn't affect the travel plans for the visiting teams or their fans.

Its not the snow that kills you...its the cold.

No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

Mr. Ross is going to be thrilled with the forecast for Missoula. -3 at kickoff with it hitting 6 by 4 PM MST. Kickoff wind chill of -17, highest of 0 at 4.

It wasn't as warm as that, but it was pretty warm here last year. If I remember, it was barely below freezing at the game last year. It's below zero now.

It sounds like the game in Missoula will only be a few degrees warmer this Saturday. Missoula's winter is a little milder than Bozeman's in general.

We'll have the coldest tailgating, but warmest game to watch.

I can deal with that :D

Supposed to be between 9 and 14 degrees in Cheney Saturday, but sunny. Unseasonably cold on the Palouse right now.

Im not trying to minimize certain temps, but Ive heard people talk about different types of cold, like dry or wet and how they feel different from the actual temps (same as heat). What is it like in different areas these games are held this weekend.

It is true that a "wet" cold feels colder. However, in my opinion the wind is what makes it worse. Just a little breeze can make that cold feel so much worse. For example, right now here in Great Falls, MT it is -18...ya it's f'n cold. But, just a little 6mph right now is making the windchill factor -33. Kickoff temp in Missoula tomorrow is predicted to be 2 degrees above 0. Wind is predicted to be 4mph dropping the windchill factor down to -6.

Latest update looks like best chance of rain is overnight tonight, into the early morning, then overcast all day Saturday. 30% chance of light rain until noon, then tapering off to 10% through midnight. Looks like chilly temps (mid 40's) and slight wind will be only factors. Should be a great night for college football!

It's gonna be a cold tailgate tomorrow in Fargo. Forecast for 9AM CT when the tailgate lots open is -17 with a west wind at 9mph putting the wind chill at about -36. Make sure those heaters are working!

It might be a good thing there is no game in Carbondale this weekend. It's supposed to be a balmy 18 degrees tomorrow, but the 10+ inches of snow in the last 24 hours would make it hard to see the yard markers.

Its supposed to be -23 at 8am. With wind chill its -40.

Man, 18 would feel like a heat wave right now. It was a 'crisp' -21 this morning.

That balmy 18 includes a windchill of -10 and is supposed to be the high tomorrow.

In your 'neck of the woods' everything must shut down with that kind of temp.

I love it....had my 4-wheeler out cruising the woods by my house.....xthumbsupx
