“It’s not exactly the most pleasant day to play football, but hey, it is November in South Bend,” ABC57 News meteorologist Dave Caulfield said in his weather report on Friday.
According to The Weather Channel, the temperature in South Bend could be in the low 40s between tailgating, the 3:30 p.m. kickoff and by the conclusion of the game around 7 p.m. ET.

There is a 37% chance of showers at 3 p.m., but the forecast is projected as cloudy heading into the evening.
“Some rain/snow showers are possible for tailgating, but drizzle could linger into the start of the game,” Caulfield posted on social media. “Despite the forecast, I still don’t believe the weather will have a big impact for Notre Dame and Boston College.”
