DISCUSSION
FOR THE UGA COMMENCEMENT THIS EVENING THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN WILL BE
THE POTENTIAL FOR A RAIN SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. FORTUNATELY THAT POTENTIAL
IS QUITE LOW (15% OR LESS). DON'T LET YOU GUARD DOWN THOUGH AS THERE WILL
PROBABLY BE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THE RADAR IN AND AROUND
ATHENS THIS EVENING. THE ODDS OF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EVENT
THIS EVENING ARE VERY LOW (LESS THAN 5%). THUS LIGHTING WOULD BE THE MAIN
HAZARD.
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT WEATHER FORCES A POSTPONEMENT OF THE COMMENCEMENT
THIS EVENING, CLOUDY AND COOL CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED SATURDAY MORNING.
