How is the weather looking for the first Saturday afternoon inside Spartan Stadium this weekend? It's shaping up to be another beautiful day for football.

Michigan State football will once again take the field at Spartan Stadium this week, with a home matchup against Eastern Michigan next on deck. Kickoff between the Spartans and Eagles is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, with the forecast looking promising for some great early season football weather.

Michigan State comes into this matchup with a 1-0 record, while the Eastern Michigan Eagles are 1-1 on the year. The Spartans won their season-opener last week against Toledo to start off the Pat Fitzgerald era on the right foot.

So will it be beautiful again this week for the Spartans? Let's take a look at the forecast for Saturday.

Game day weather forecast

According to Weather.com, here are the highlights and key details for Saturday's forecast for East Lansing, Michigan:

  • Expect warm temperatures throughout your Saturday in East Lansing, with an expected kickoff temperature of 82 degrees
  • Forecast calls for partly to mostly cloudy conditions throughout the day
  • There is no chance of rain in the forecast before, during and after the game
  • Humidity will be around 55 percent during the game, with low wind speeds of less than 10 miles per hour

Impact on Game

Similar to last week's opener, there really shouldn't be much of an impact from the weather in this matchup. The lone possible impact would be the unseasonably warm temperature of 82 degrees (about 10 degrees warmer than average). Overall depth and conditioning will come into play for the warmer temperature of this game, but I wouldn't consider this a drastic impact that should change your opinion on this matchup.
