Weather for Nebraska Game

[LincolnHawkeye]

This is about 7-8 days out so the forecast might change. But I'm fairly confident right now that a major storm system will impact the upper midwest on Thanksgiving and lingering into Black Friday. That means, warm weather for Nebraska/Iowa on Thanksgiving with potentially a great deal of rain, then on the back side of the storm, cold temps and snow is possible. As of right now, it looks like the front will come through Lincoln on Thursday night, which means that there could be a good deal of snow that night and into the morning. And during the game at 2:30 the next day, conditions could be very similar to this week's game, with strong winds out of the NW and temps in the 20's. I'm thinking right now that would favor us slightly since we actually have a good running game and Nebraska likes to air it out, however, Nebraska's run defense is pretty good, while their pass defense is abysmal.

Is this what the European Computer Model is saying?

Nebraska has yet to play in weather like we are currently seeing this week, so if it continues into next week then things could be interesting.

No use even going to the game. The bad weather and all. May as well stay warm and watch the game on television

European is saying exactly that. Warm sector of the storm. GFS surprisingly is in agreement with the Euro. could be wet, but not a major snow maker at this moment.
Still the wet weather could definitely favor the Hawks

Where do you find info on what the forecast models are saying? I think it would be cool to be an amateur meteorologist.
