Govs Tailgate Forecast

Today’s high- 86

Tonight’s low- 71

Today is our home game against Presbyterian, and the weather is looking a bit hot and gloomy.  There is a 60% chance of rain for this afternoon  and tonight, so don’t forget your rain gear! The fly in the ointment is a thunderstorm, which, in a small chance, could become strong to marginally severe with gusty winds. The Storm Prediction Center had outlined a Marginal Risk that approximately borders Clarksville. If the game becomes delayed due to lightning, please be patient! I know you are excited to watch the Govs football game, but lightning can be a safety risk to everyone outdoors.

In short, have fun at the game and be safe please!
