Weather Forecast for Jackrabbits vs Fighting Hawks

The upcoming clash on November 22, 2025, between the South Dakota State Jackrabbits and North Dakota Fighting Hawks at Alerus Center in Grand Forks, ND promises an exciting chapter in the 2025-26 NCAAF season. This Saturday football game takes place in a dome stadium, so outdoor weather conditions like rain or snow will not impact gameplay. However, the weather forecast outside shows clear skies with temperatures hovering around 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a steady west-northwest wind at 13 to 17 mph.

The North Dakota Fighting Hawks, playing at home, have the advantage of a dome environment which neutralizes external weather factors, allowing them to focus purely on their game strategy. South Dakota State Jackrabbits, as the away team, will have to adapt to the dome's unique conditions, which could influence passing and kicking games differently compared to outdoor fields. Historically, dome games tend to favor teams with strong aerial attacks due to consistent conditions.

While the outdoor weather is clear and cool, it won't affect the game inside the dome, but it's worth noting that teams like the Fighting Hawks have performed well in dome settings previously. Bettors should consider the home team's comfort in this controlled environment against South Dakota State's ability to execute under such conditions. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+, giving fans and bettors a prime viewing experience.
