Rain is in this one. Bring the canopy you keep meaning to replace and put the chips under it first.

The tailgate index is the rock's read on standing outside for four hours: comfort, wind, rain and the extremes. It is about the parking lot, not the game.

Wind is a non-issue at 1 mph out of the north-northeast. There is a real chance of rain at kickoff.

What this is

myweatherrock is a live weather forecast for every town in the United States, kept by a weather rock. The current conditions, the next 48 hours and the ten days ahead come from the National Weather Service grid, the National Blend of Models and the HRRR, blended and served here, with radar rendered from NOAA's own MRMS feed. The forecast is graded every night against NOAA's analysis and against the nearest weather station, and the scores are published in the Journal. There are no ads, no accounts and no tracking.

Town forecasts are pressed as their own pages: Connecticut, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the rest of the country are reachable from the state list. The Weather School explains how forecasting works in plain English, and the Journal keeps the receipts.
