THE GRAND Final is likely to be played in largely fine conditions, although winds reaching up to 35kmh could test the kicking skills of Adelaide and Richmond.

Meanwhile, similar conditions are expected for the Grand Final parade on Friday, with light showers also a possibility.

Bureau of Meterology forecaster Stuart Coombs told AFL.com.au players could have trouble nailing their set shots.

There's the chance of some brief rainfall, and the mercury is expected to hit around 17 degrees.

"The wind in general [will be] favouring the Punt Road end, but obviously with a high stand it does tend to swirl around quite a bit and probably gusting to 30-35kmh at times, so it might make some of those shots at goal from the pockets a little tricky," Coombs said.

On Friday, there could be a patch of rain lasting about 15 minutes.

"It's more likely that we won't see anything during the parade, but people coming along could be mindful that there might be a shower, maybe just take a poncho with you in case," Coombs said.

A maximum temperature of 17 degrees is also forecast for Friday.
