Aberdeen chief executive Alan Burrows has revealed Pittodrie is currently "good to go" for the match against Motherwell, despite horrendous weather conditions.
The stadium has already faced a deluge of rain with more to come this afternoon as well as strong winds of around 60mph.
However, Burrows - previously at Motherwell - has released an update for supporters ahead of the match stating the match is expected to go ahead as planned - barring any changes for the worse.
He explained the pitch is wet but is draining "pretty satisfactorily" and ground staff are on hand to carry out any work before kick-off should it be required.
No major damage has been done to the stadium by the weather conditions with just some signage being damaged by the strong winds.
On X, formerly Twitter, Burrows posted: "At the moment, the wind and rain is battering the North East. Another 20mm of rain due to fall on Pittodrie between now and KO and wind currently gusting around about 60/65mph.
"Despite that, at the moment, the stadium is holding up fairly well. Not too much damage so far, other than some signage.

"Pitch is wet, but is draining pretty satisfactorily at this stage. We have our ground staff, when they aren't blowing about the place, on standby should any quick remedial work be required (when the wind eventually eases).
"Better news is that the worst of the weather is between now and 3.30pm, before it calms down quite a fair bit.
"As we stand now, with the forecast as it is, things are good to go. If anything changes for the worst, we'll update in as much time as possible..."
