GAME DAY WEATHER NOTES

It will be another warm one for the Pirates as a temperature of 81 degrees is projected for the 8 p.m. kickoff at Central Florida. It will feel even warmer with a heat index of 87 degrees. East Carolina should be in excellent shape as the running programs of strength and conditioning coach Jeff Connors continue during the season after the arduous workouts of summer. The forecast is calling for 79 percent humidity with a 40 percent chance of a shower. If rain and/or lightning become factors, ECU should be prepared for that eventuality as well. The Pirates topped Texas-El Paso 28-18 last week after a thunderstorm came through and delayed the game in the second quarter for one hour, 20 minutes. Winds are projected to be northeast at seven miles per hour at kickoff, diminishing to five miles per hour by game's end. The field at Bright House Stadium runs North and South with ECU appropriately designated for the East sideline. (Filed by Al Myatt)
