From the forecaster
A strong cold front will barrel through the Eastern U.S. today and sweep off the East Coast on Saturday but stalling across Florida. Behind this system, a sprawling area of high pressure with widespread Fall-like temperatures will stretch from the Rockies to the Eastern Seaboard. In many areas, these high temperatures over the weekend will be below normal from Texas to the East, by as much as 10 to 15 degrees.

- Saturday: Florida State @ Miami (Rain); Alabama @ Tennessee (Breezy); Missouri @ Ole Miss (Breezy)
