I really didn't see any severe storms that will affect games like it did last week in the Clemson-Tech and Geo-South Carolina game.

Forecast Summary, The Weather Channel
South
Showers and thunderstorms will be common from the northern Gulf Coast States northeastward through the Appalachians. Florida will have unsettled weather as well, although the showers and storms will not be as active today in the Keys. Missouri, Arkansas, and western Tennessee will have a chance to dry out today as that slow moving front has passed on by. Memphis, TN received nearly 7 inches of rain over the past few days. High temperatures will range from the low 80s in the stormy places to the low 90s in Florida and along the western Gulf Coast. The pattern will be similar Sunday. The Southeast and northern Gulf Coast will remain vulnerable to bouts of scattered showers and thunderstorms in the coming week. Hurricane Isidore will strengthen and lurk in the southern Gulf over the next several days. The surf will increase around the entire Gulf Coast. Isidore's ultimate track is still in question so everyone around the Gulf needs to keep tabs on this strong storm.
Northeast
Except in Washington and perhaps Baltimore, the showers and scattered thunderstorms will stay west of the Megalopolis through Sunday evening, as the cold front edges eastward into the muggy air mass now over the region. This weekend, high temperatures from much of New England to the Tidewater of Virginia will be generally 5 to 10 degrees above average, with thermometers rising into the low to mid 80s. Sunday night into Monday, the cold front will finally advance to the East Coast, bringing the showers into Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Tuesday should be a pleasant day as high pressure builds in from the Great Lakes.
Midwest
Cool weather is in store, especially through the northern Plains. Highs in North Dakota will be in the mid 50s today, and highs in the 50s will stretch into Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on Sunday. It will be windy in the Dakotas today as cool air blows from the northwest behind a cold front. A few showers have been active in South Dakota overnight, and they are spreading into northern Nebraska and Iowa. On Sunday a few showers will splash around the Great Lakes, especially in Michigan. Frost advisories and freeze warnings are in effect tonight for western portions of South Dakota and Nebraska.
West
Lake Wind Advisories will be in effect today in northeast Montana for winds out of the northwest from 20 to 30 mph. A few showers may be found along the slopes to the east of Glacier National Park and into Great Falls. This is all part of a cool air mass that continues to move through Montana and Wyoming. Frost advisories and freeze warnings are even in effect tonight and Sunday morning for eastern Wyoming. Otherwise the West will be dry with hot temperatures ranging from Portland, Oregon to San Francisco, CA and through the interior valleys of California and well as the Desert Southwest. Another dry and fair day is in store for Sunday. Highs will not change much over the weekend.
