Tennessee-Georgia: Rain, wind in the forecast for Athens on Saturday

Related Topics: Athens, Georgia, Tennessee, Gulf of Mexico

Tennessee and Georgia are set for a top 15 showdown in Athens on Saturday — and it may be a sloppy one. As Hurricane Delta blows in through the Gulf of Mexico, it could push rain and wind to the southeast on Saturday and Sunday. It could play a major role as the Volunteers attempt to knock off the third-ranked Bulldogs.

AccuWeather give a 70 percent chance of rain on Saturday in Athens, with potential of 22 mph wind gusts, which would obviously affect the passing and kicking games. There’s also a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms throughout the day.
