The season opener for Texas against No. 11 Notre Dame could be a soggy one, especially early.

At 11 a.m. CT the weather radar indicated a strong line of thunderstorms to the west of South Bend. The strongest of the storms looks like it will miss the site of tonight's tilt between the Longhorns and the Fighting Irish, but rain is falling and there's at least a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms all the way until kickoff.

The temperature at 6 p.m., 30 minutes before kickoff, is expected to be 73 degrees. The rain percentages drop to 30 percent by 7 p.m. with the temperature expected to be climb to around 84 degrees.

Rain isn't the main issue since Notre Dame Stadium is equipped with an artificial surface. Lighting, however, could a factor in the start time and a potential stoppage tonight; Texas had two games delayed due to lightning in 2013, a pair of road games against BYU and TCU.

By 8 p.m. the forecast calls for clear skies with a temperature of 82 degrees. Sunset is expected at 8:11 p.m. central, so the game should finish without weather being a factor.
