— Heavy rain is forecast to fall throughout Arkansas' game at Tennessee on Saturday in Knoxville.

According to a hazardous weather outlook posted Friday morning by the National Weather Service in Morristown, Tennessee, rain totaling 2 to 5 inches is expected to fall between Friday night and Saturday night in east Tennessee, with higher amounts possible in some areas.

Amounts depend on the "evolution and interaction of Hurricane Joaquin" with a weather system already in the region, according to the weather service.

There is a low lightning risk associated with the rain. Southeastern Conference rules dictate a game must be stopped for at least 30 minutes when a lightning strike occurs within 8 miles of a game in progress.
