Like Oklahoma State last week, OU is on bye this week.

So, here are the football weather forecast for Tulsa and OSU:

Oklahoma State hosting Texas, 6:50 p.m. Saturday at Stillwater


Just like Tulsa, Stillwater has received a little bit of rain lately and also like Tulsa, Stillwater's rain chances continue through Saturday.

The National Weather Service forecasts a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms... during the day Saturday.

At night? Partly cloudy skies with 3 to 5 mph northeast winds and lows in the mid-50s, but no rain chances forecast.

Your Stillwater afternoon shouldn't be too bad if the rain holds off. Mostly cloudy skies and highs in the low-80s.

Tulsa at University of Alabama - Birmingham, 2 p.m. Saturday at Birmingham, Ala.


Occasionally games are played at special off-campus venues, so I double-checked the location on the UAB athletic site and in this case, it is in fact at UAB's stadium, Legion Field in Birmingham.

Like Stillwater, Birmingham has rain chances on Saturday. However, these rain chances are much higher: 50 percent (both day and night).

Temperatures are also expected to be cooler, with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-80s. However, winds are expected to be calm, about 5 mph.

Have a good (football) weekend!
