00:00We're going to be looking ahead to some big-time football matchups as the college playoffs begin this weekend after years of anticipation, and well, here they are.
00:09We're looking ahead to Friday evening, and there is one game Friday evening. It's going to be cold out there.
00:14You can see we have South Bend labeled instead of Chicago.
00:17Typically, you'd go for the bigger city, but there's a big happening in South Bend here.
00:21You can see we're going to be dealing with actual real-field temperatures in the teens Friday evening.
00:25Indiana headed to Notre Dame there, and we'll be dealing with actual air temps in the upper 20s,
00:30but certainly upper teens there for the Accuweather real-field temperature.
00:34There will likely be at least around a few flurries.
00:37A few flurries or snow showers may be occurring, but we'll have a lot of clouds there.
00:41And a shot of Arctic air will be sliding farther to the southeast,
00:46and this is going to be expanding into more of Big Ten country here, into more of the northeast on Saturday.
00:52So there's going to be a lot of cold in place and some occasional snow showers and flurries around.
00:56Also, we might typically label Pittsburgh or another place instead of State College, PA, but that's there for good reason.
01:02Accuweather real-field temperatures are going to be in probably the lower teens,
01:06not too far off to the northwest, upper single digits, Saturday afternoon and evening.
01:10So SMU, a southern climate school, heading north to University Park, PA.
01:15A couple of flurries will be around, maybe even a chance for a gusty snow shower.
01:19Actual air temps in the upper 20s.
01:21Accuweather real-field temperatures tanking into the low teens at times during the game.
01:25And we head to the Horseshoe here, Tennessee at Ohio State.
01:28Always a tough place to play here.
01:30Accuweather real-field temperatures in the teens.
01:32There's one game where the weather is unlikely to play a big role,
01:36and this is Clemson at Texas in Austin with a good deal of sunshine.
01:40Actual air temps in the 50s.
01:42We should be bright and dry until sunset, probably late in the game.
01:49We'll be back.
