According to the National Weather Service, winds will build late Friday with sustained speeds between 15 and 20 mph, peaking during game time. Drivers and outdoor event-goers should secure loose items and prepare for cooler late-night temperatures falling into the mid-40s.

Saturday will bring calmer weather, with partly sunny skies and a high near 68. Winds ease to 5–10 mph by evening, offering a more comfortable setup for outdoor activities. Sunday looks nearly ideal, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 69, before nighttime lows dip into the lower 40s.
