Brian Kelly on potential impact of tropical storm on Alabama game

Tigers head coach Brian Kelly as LSU Tigers take on the the Army Black Knights in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, October. 21, 2023.

LSU football head coach Brian Kelly met with the media on Monday. Usually, the conversation remains focused on the game at hand, but with a tropical storm in the Gulf, Kelly took a moment to address it.

“The one thing I didn’t have to think about, I thought, was another storm coming,” Kelly said.

“As we get closer to game time, probably (Tuesday), we’ll have to look a little bit closer at the weather situation. It’s definitely on the list now,” Kelly said.

The storm, named Rafael, would reach the United States this weekend.

In a social media post, meteorologist James Spann wrote “It is still too early to know what, if any, impact there will be on the Alabama/LSU game in Baton Rouge Saturday night. For now, we’re just forecasting a chance of showers. That could change in the coming days.”

Right now, The Weather Channel forecast for Baton Rouge on Saturday night states “overcast with rain showers at times. Low 67F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.”

If that holds, I’d expect LSU and Alabama to play without issue. Rafael is expected to reach hurricane status over the Gulf of Mexico, but weaken as it approaches the U.S. coast.
