Tobacco Road Success
Posted by Anthony
Ryan's forecast for Greensboro had low temperatures a good few degrees warmer than most everybody else. Turns out, that's what propelled him to a victory for his weekend forecast! Can Duke duplicate this success in tomorrow's title game vs. Butler? If he could forecast that as accurately as his Greensboro temperatures, Ryan would be vacationing in Vegas right now instead of the West Coast.
Friday: High 87, Low 51.
Saturday: High 80, Low 56.
Forecast Grade: B
Greensboro, North Carolina to Altoona, Pennsylvania

Welcome to a road trip featuring one of the longest titles ever. It's going to be a 7 hour trip, and covers almost 400 miles. Expect a slow rate that covers ground at about 56mph. Shall we?
Our drive on Saturday will be rather easy. We'll meander through the mountains of the eastern time zone. Expect warm temperatures for the day, well above average. Keep the windows down, because we won't have any precipitation at all for the entire 7 hour day. Altoona could be clearing 80 by the time we get there!
Greensboro, North Carolina

Our day takes us to North Carolina, right back to that ridge of high pressure that has been so kind to us the past couple of days.
At 1254PM, ET, Greensboro was reporting a temperature of 77 degrees with clear skies. Dry conditions in addition to the clear skies indicate a continued rise in temperatures this afternoon, perhaps into the mid-80s.
For the first time in months, a large scale upper level ridge has established itself over the eastern US. The ridge will gradually break down as a strong trough will move into the central US. Expect an increase in clouds, however as the cold front approaches the Appalachians, rain and thunder will be delayed until Sunday for Greensboro.
