Do you like rain with your football? You don't? Well, we have some bad news for you.

Rain is in the forecast again for the second weekend of the 2018 Ohio State football season with an 85% chance of showers for Ohio State's 3:30 p.m. kickoff against Rutgers in Ohio Stadium Saturday.

Don't expect things to get better as the game is played out, however, as we're looking at a 90% chance of precipitation in the second half.

Temperatures will dip from what we've seen in Columbus recently, with a high of 64º expected at kickoff and then slowly tailing off into the evening with a low of 61º at 8 p.m.

At least the wind is not expected to be a factor with calls for a slight breeze out of the northeast at 11 mph at the start of the game.

For tailgaters, the day will see a high of 68º at 11 a.m., but again, you'll want to plan for a wet day as it's expected to shower all day, right through the game.
