00:00 The heat will be on for college football this weekend in Texas, and you'll have to deal with the rain for baseball games in the Midwest.
00:07 Jeff Cornish has the details in tonight's Field Conditions.
00:10 We've got some big games to talk about for our Field Conditions Report and some unusual things going on.
00:16 For example, we're going to take you to a 10 a.m. local time kickoff in Colorado here.
00:21 It's a noon game Eastern, and a lot of the time the East Coast drives a lot of the TV schedules, so that puts you at 10 a.m. for kickoff.
00:29 So an early tailgate start there in Boulder, 68 for kickoff and rising rapidly throughout the course of the game.
00:34 Kansas, Texas, here we have a hot one in Austin, 94 degrees.
00:38 AccuWeather, Real Field Temperature, 101. That's a hot one. Very, very steamy there in the Lone Star State.
00:44 We've had spectacular weather all week long, at least since around Tuesday into Raleigh-Durham.
00:49 And in Durham this Saturday evening, just gorgeous weather. The sun will be setting during the game.
00:53 Sunshine, 72 for kickoff, falling through the 60s.
00:55 And we actually have some rain, or at least rain showers. It may not be heavy, but it is rain nonetheless.
01:00 Some scattered showers around Anaheim on Saturday evening for an AL West matchup.
01:06 There's a couple of hurdles there weather-wise where you may not fully expect them this early in what will become the wet season.
01:12 And we have sunshine in Chicago looking good there for that interleague matchup late in the season.
01:18 Back to you.
01:19 Thank you.
