2016 Spring game forecast

Hey guys, dont know if I'm going to be able to do a forecast later this week but I will keep an eye on this as the spring game approaches a little more (plus I know I've gotten a few requests for this kind of forecast.) Its looking like spring is finally here for everyone not in New England or Colorado. The weather is gorgeous and everyone is super optimistic that this year will finally be their year. This year is going to be a little different for Blacksburg VA, with the main head hokie; Frank Beamer; retiring we start the spring with a new coach for the first time in almost three decades. However with this spring game comes more promise for our offense that maybe any team as far as I can remember. This is a really important spring game for the Hokies, no the score doesn't matter, but from an execution stand point the hokies need to be on the A game for us to start feeling good about this upcoming season.

I'll leave all of that crazy video analysis to our main man French and skip to the stuff that I can do. FORECASTING. So I'm going to do a nice play by play of the entire week seeing as it should be kind of interesting.

current surface view of the US

I posted this map from our dear friends over at the national weather service and for those of you that have been paying attention you'll know that high pressure systems are great for sunny days and as you can see we're currently blanketed by high pressure systems

As of right now it should be absolutely gorgeous out east, and dont expect that trend to change for the beginning of next week. A really strong high pressure system over Wisconsin is going to be migrating its way down over the east coast and really blocking us off from everything going on in Texas and the southern states (I drew a yellow arrow to help indicate whats going on). It's going to break all of it up and just block everything bad early in the week. That low will however migrate north and pick up some strength before coming back over us later in the week (think Friday) LUCKILY it should make its way through Virginia for the spring game. I expect it to rain friday night and early saturday morning but man oh man saturday afternoon should be gorgeous as the next system comes in and breaks things up.

Final predictions

High 62
Low 45
Clear Skies
Little to no wind
no rain!

Should be a pretty fun spring game and I hope the tailgating holds up well. I'll keep an eye on that system on Friday and make sure it doesnt draw out anymore but it really shouldn't its a pretty basic ridge trough system and the rain should be out by 5-6 AM saturday morning
