The different models have been agreeing that the front will come through sometime Saturday, with the latest run of the NAM, the rain and hot, moist air should be clearing by about 9am, setting up a for a great atmosphere for the football game.
The simulated radar on the NAM has the rain pushing through the area around dawn, nothing severe, but some strong storms possible.

The GFS also supports this rain moving through before noon, with very small accumulated rain amounts. This would be great news for the football game, making the wet weather a non-factor for the players, but also for the fans.
This front is going take with it the heat and humidity, behind the front, dewpoints will be dropping from mid-70s on Friday into the low 50s on Sunday morning. Low temps will also respond Sunday morning, into the mid 50s overnight Sunday, with a high Sunday near 80. This is welcome relief from the low-mid 90s we've had since Isaac came through. A taste of fall is on the way, and not a minute too soon. If the models are correct, the game against Auburn will be very pleasant. Cool(er) with a northwest breeze to put a lid on the hot temperatures.
After this weekend, the sun will stick around until late week, when there may be another cold front pushing towards the MS valley. Unfortunately with all that sun, things will be heating back into the 80s, even pushing 90 once again. Thankfully, the humidity will not be quite as oppressive as it has been this week.
