The weather here in South Carolina is awful...

I feel like were living in Seattle It hasn't stopped raining for 2 days, look for rain tonight at the game. I think this favors South Carolina. Either way good luck on your plays..

It's been absolutely POURING for about 2 hours solid here at the Beach.

Not raining anymore here, not sure what the weather will be like for the game.

I'm watching the Columbia weather channel right now, and they just gave the game forecast as 50% for tailgating, and 50% for the game.

I couldn't really tell if it was raining from the Sky Cam shot of the stadium, but it is definitely overcast.

I'm no weather guy but I live in Athens, Ga and some light rain passed through between 12 and 1pm this afternoon.  There is a fairly large rain cloud sitting over Savanah and the wind is from the south east at 11 mph.  That system could show up in Columbia around game time.  Below is the weather channel's Fan Comfort rating for the game:

Spectator Index
The Spectator Index provides one overall forecast for how comfortable conditions will be while attending your favorite outdoor pastimes, or on your way to indoor venues.

A variety of weather factors are used to calculate the Spectator Index, including temperature, probability of precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover. The best index values result from shirt-sleeve temperatures, minimal chances of precipitation, low humidity, light winds, and fair skies. Conversely, cold and stormy conditions will result in the lowest Spectator Index values, when a bit of extra gear may be required to maximize comfort level in the stands.

The Spectator Index is updated several times a day. Either a general index value to broadly describe a given day, or a specific index value to describe a given hour, is presented.

The scale for our Spectator Index is: Excellent (10), Very Good (9, 8), Good (7, 6), Fair (5, 4), Poor (3,2), Very Poor (1)
