Auburn is gearing up to take the field this weekend in the Music City Bowl, but will the weather work in the Tigers’ (and fans’) favor?

Auburn is scheduled to face Maryland on Saturday, Dec. 30, at 1 p.m. CST in the Music City Bowl at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

Auburn is the favorite to win the game.

What is not exactly favorable is the weather forecast, which will be on the chilly side.

The National Weather Service in Nashville is forecasting the temperature to be around 46 degrees at 1 p.m. CST for kickoff. Temperatures are forecast to peak at 48 degrees by 3 p.m. and fall to 46 degrees again by 4 p.m., when things could be winding down.

The weather service is forecasting wind chills to be in the low 40s to upper 30s. Winds should be just under 10 mph for the duration of the game.

The good news is that there is no precipitation of any kind expected during the game. The same can’t be said for Friday, when the Nashville area could see a few snowflakes.

The weather service expects rain chances to decrease starting early Saturday morning and be next to nothing (5 percent) by game time.

Skies are forecast to be partly cloudy on Saturday afternoon in the Nashville area. Here is the sky cover forecast for noon on Saturday:

Overnight lows are forecast to dip into the low 30s by Sunday morning.
