get caught in the kind of rain coming our way. visibilities aren't great either guys, you know, they're okay in a lot of spots , but take a look with the light wind, with the moisture, with the snow melt that's taking place you've got just absolutely perfect conditions to see this fog form. i'm seeing a lot of that in some of the area field cameras , watch for reduced visibility coming through in patches. and also, just the wet roadways. you'll have, i think the windshield wipers going for one thing, but also the heat onto try to get rid some of the steam that will build up. wider zoom on the radar heaviest rain in the keystone state, off to the west. that is not going to stay that way with time. we will get in on some of the heavy rain, but talk about this game day forecast, yes you're reading this right. the temperatures are going to dramatically be dropping through the day. but the time we hit 4:35, for kick off. we are back at best in the low 30's. with winds no less, so i think it kind of depends who you ask whether this is good or bad thing given our
