The match should be electric, and the weather is trending to cooperate for the most part.

We won’t be seeing dangerous heat, but Thursday afternoon will feel like a midsummer workout for the players and tens of thousands of fans in attendance.

Temperatures will likely sit in the mid-80s during the pregame tailgate and remain there through the final whistle. Skies will see variable clouds with streaks of sunshine, and there is an outside chance of a spot shower or thunderstorm during the second half.

The bigger story might be the humidity. We’re going to see dew points hover in the low 70s, creating a tropical feel across the stadium and making the 80s feel like the lower 90s during the match. Heat index values will settle into the low 90s for the duration of the match.

This is the kind of air that will make it feel sticky when just standing outside, never mind cheering and jumping up and down. So make sure you have plenty of water during the trip to and during the match.

What’s worth watching is how quickly our next system pushes towards New England. We’re likely to see the intense July sunshine and hot, moist air spark some pop-up showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, although it looks like the storms will stay north and west of the stadium through the match.

But with an unstable atmosphere, there is a low chance for a storm to approach the stadium during the match. Just keep an eye on the sky, and if there are any alerts announced, like for lightning within 8 miles of the stadium, then head into the concourse and grab a drink or snack.

This matchup does carry a little extra history. It’s a rematch of the 2022 semifinal, in which France ended Morocco’s historic tournament run. The stakes are enormous, and the action should be must-see TV.

So stay hydrated and enjoy this tilt as the World Cup in Foxborough comes to a close.
