How warm will it be for football games this weekend?

COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — The fall season will begin this weekend, but our football weather will not be anything close to feeling like autumn. What will stay the same is the dry weather continuing for the next several days.

Football Friday Nite is expected to be warm. Temperatures will start off in the mid 80s by kickoff. As the evening goes on, it will slowly cool down into the mid 70s. Skies are going to stay mainly clear as a few more clouds try and roll in by the final whistle.

This brings about clear skies at Ohio Stadium as well. Tailgaters will start the morning off fairly mild, but then warm into the mid to upper 70s approaching kickoff. Temperatures during Ohio State’s game against Marshall are expected to make their way to the upper 80s. Saturday’s high is going to be roughly 10 degrees above average for the last day of summer.

The Browns on Sunday afternoon and the Bengals on Monday night will also see dry conditions. Both cities can look forward to mostly sunny skies. Cleveland’s high temperature will be in the low 80s on Sunday. Cincinnati will see temps reach the mid 80s on Monday, but by the time the game kicks off, it will be in the upper 70s. Those traveling to either game should not expect any weather-related issues.
