No. 12 Ole Miss is all set to hot no. 2 Georgia on Saturday in Oxford. One person who’s more than excited about this clash is head coach Lane Kiffin. “This is the test of all tests. This is the premier program in college football, what Alabama used to be, and coach Kirby Smart’s done an amazing job,” Kiffin said, showcasing the pressure he feels to face an SEC champion like Georgia.

However, more than the game itself, Miss Rebel fans are worried about the weather conditions at Ole Miss. When last time Hurricane Helene hit Florida as a category 3 storm, Ole Miss had a game against Kentucky, which they lost by 17-20. Now they’re standing in a similar situation one more time.

An Ole Miss fan page on X called ‘Everything Ole Miss’ shared a post that is exactly the sentiments of their fans. “Ole Miss fans: prepare for rain Saturday. the odds are high. Please DO NOT let some rain affect anything. Be there, be louder than ever, and let’s make history together. Students, it starts with you.”

Although over 4 days, the conditions can change, Miss Rebels fans are appealed to not take any chance and be prepared for the upcoming disaster. With or without rain, they have to be there to cheer up those young boys who’ll be playing for their fans.

It all started in the Caribbean; that’s where Tropical Storm Rafael formed on Monday. The storm is likely to be more aggressive and transform into a hurricane that can affect the U.S. Gulf Coast nearer to this weekend, according to the information given by the National Hurricane Center. So when Ole Miss faces Georgia on Saturday, Hurricane Rafael can be a problem for both teams. With that, let’s learn the latest updates on this natural disaster.

How badly can Hurricane Rafael affect Ole Miss’s upcoming game?

Currently, a weather authority team is closely monitoring the Caribbean, as tropical storm Rafael is likely to turn into a category 1 hurricane around Tuesday night. The latest updates on its movements show Rafael holding steady as a category 1 hurricane as it passes over Cuba and goes towards the Gulf of Mexico around Wednesday afternoon and evening.

At this time, Rafael is moving northwest at 13 mph speed and it is predicted to move in the same direction for the coming days. Moreover, Rafael can sustain winds around 60 mph, and it should stay offshore from southwest Florida, as it’s going to be on the same northwest path around Wednesday and Thursday, so there are quite good odds that it won’t affect Saturday’s game between Ole Miss and Georgia.

But the good news? This storm is going to be minimal, with scatted rain and storm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Let’s hope that this does not cause any kind of destruction to the people living nearby. We hope the upcoming Ole Miss vs. Georgia game goes as expected without Hurricane Rafael affecting it. Moreover, let us know your prediction for this game. Which team can pull out a win? Georgia or Ole Miss?
