Broader Outlook and Tips

  • Storm System Impact: The NWS warns of severe thunderstorms Saturday afternoon/evening from Missouri to Pennsylvania, overlapping games in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and upstate NY. Excessive rainfall (1-2" possible) could cause field ponding or delays in Purdue/Indiana areas.
  • Wind Factor: Gusts 15+ mph in the Plains/Midwest (e.g., Iowa, Nebraska) may alter kicking and deep passes.
  • No Major Disruptions Yet: As of 8 AM ET, no delays reported on X or news wires. For real-time, follow
