No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 8 Cincinnati are set to meet in a showdown Saturday that has major College Football Playoff (CFP) implications. The winner doesn’t necessarily have a free path to the CFP but each will be clear of their biggest obstacles.
What will the weather be like as Cincinnati makes their first trip to Notre Dame Stadium for what is likely the biggest game in program history?
A perfect temperature but perhaps a chance of rain for part of the contest according to Meteorologist Matt Yarosewick of WNDU:
PLANNING AHEAD??? We take an early look at the chance for some showers during the Notre Dame V Cincinnati game Saturday. Then the showers stay into next week. More coming up on these rain chances on 16 News Now at NOON! pic.twitter.com/ot2bB4c3tX

Gone are the days of natural grass at Notre Dame Stadium which means wet conditions no longer tear up the track quite like they used to. However, the elements can still make for slipping issues and it more difficult to hold onto the football.
