Week 7 SEC kickoff forecast: Fans in store for best weather day of 2015

There are six SEC games on the Week 7 slate, scattered through six different Southern states.

Despite that widespread coverage, not a single one of those games features a 1 percent chance of rain at kickoff. Just one kickoff forecast even features clouds, and almost every game should start with temperatures in the 60s.

It’s hard to imagine a better weather day across the entire SEC. The last two seasons have been filled with delays, cancellations and early endings due to lightning and rain. Perhaps Mother Nature has decided to offer the conference a sort of payback for enduring those outings.

Alabama and Texas A&M should face a kickoff temperature of about 83 degrees, and thus should keep the Gatorade handy on the sideline. Other than that, this should be a moderate and beautiful day of football.

Fans will want to bring an extra layer, especially in Athens, Ga., for Mizzou-UGA. Temperatures will plummet into the low 50s by the end of the game.

But if you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the house and go outside, whether it’s to throw the football in the back yard or get to a football game, this is a great weekend to do so.

Here’s the complete Week 7 weather forecast in the SEC.
