Forecast For Saturday is Wet and Cold

[gblowfish]

Hope the rain is over before kickoff. I can deal with snow. Rain and freezing rain, not so much...

From the KC Star today:

It’s still a little more than 100 hours until kickoff of Saturday afternoon’s AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Chiefs and Colts at Arrowhead Stadium.

Obviously, a lot can happen between now and then regarding the weather, but it never hurts to take an early look at what the conditions might be like for the game.

At this time, it seems that Saturday could be chilly and wet at Arrowhead. I looked at what two national weather forecasters and four local meteorologists are saying could happen. They all seem to agree that precipitation is coming but not when it will happen:

The National Weather Service is calling for rain and snow on Friday night that will transition to snow. On Saturday, its forecast says, “Rain and snow likely, becoming all rain after noon, then gradually ending. Cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 70 percent.”

Lezak seems to be leaning that we’ll be okay. Snow early but light snow at worst during game.

I remember a December game against Miami not too long ago that sucked. The wind was brutal.

I was there too. My jack and cokes were freezing. I don't remember what the wind chill was, but I wanted to say - 50. I may be wrong about that tho.

We had our beers on the grill to prevent freezing.

Yeah, **** cold and rain. Nothing worse than that.

The Denver game that was referenced was cold too. I left Branson at 5:00 AM and by the time I got to my tailgate, my gallon jug of water that I had in the tailgate was frozen solid. I didn't know that a gallon of water could freeze solid that fast.

And of course it was a late season game that meant nothing. And the Chiefs lost. To a team from Florida.

There were vendors in the stadium giving away beer because they were freezing and popping the tops.

Gorgeous out today- they should have moved the game up.

Cold, wet and windy here in the NW. Wonder how much of it you'll get out there....
