By
Oct 13, 2016

The forecast calls for scattered showers, with a high of 59 and low of 53 on Thursday.

The Falcons have a weather plan for their week of practice in Seattle.

“We do have a contingency plan if we get the type of weather where you can’t participate outside,” coach Dan Quinn said. “It’s the Pacific Northwest where there is rain we are equipped for that to stay outside or if we have to go indoors because of thunderstorms.”

Showers are forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
