NFL Wild Card Weekend Weather Report and Forecast
We’re kicking off Wild Card Weekend of the NFL playoffs with a couple of games below freezing, but all in all, these are about as good of conditions as you could hope for in January.
This NFL weather article will highlight any extreme temperatures, precipitation, and, most importantly, high winds that we could see across the NFL landscape this week. If a game isn’t specifically listed in this week’s report, that means the weather is quiet enough for it not to be an issue in that particular game.
NFL Wild Card Weekend Weather Report & Forecast
As always, it’s best to stay up to date with the very latest forecasts, so follow me on Twitter @KevinRothWx and keep an eye on my NFL weather report.
A reminder that while temperature and rain/snow can impact a game, the greatest impact by far comes from high wind, so I’ll be looking to highlight those spots when possible.
Saturday, January 11th
Los Angeles Chargers at Houston Texans – There’s a roof if they want it, mild weather if not.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens – The temperature (30 degrees) is a couple of degrees below freezing, but the winds are light, and I’m not expecting any precipitation.
Sunday, January 12th
Denver Broncos at Buffalo Bills – Temp in the upper 20s with light wind and no precipitation. For Orchard Park in January, that’s as good as it gets.
Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles – Temps in the 30s with light winds and dry conditions. It’s great football weather.
Washington Commanders at Tampa Bay Bucs – Mild temps, no precipitation, light winds.
Monday, January 13th
Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams – There’s a roof, and I expect everything will be fine, but it’s worth mentioning the numerous wildfires ongoing in the days ahead of this game. I am operating under the assumption things will be fine by game time, but I’ll be keeping an eye on air quality in the area leading up to the game.
Weather Impact on Fantasy & Betting
This is usually one of the most exciting weather weeks of the NFL, but I’m pleased to say that is not the case this year. All of these Wild Card Weekend games should play without weather impacting the game at all. Even the games with temps below freezing are being played with light winds and no precipitation, and I don’t expect the cold to matter. Enjoy!
In case things change, I’ll be posting radar GIFs to Twitter as we get closer to kickoff: @KevinRothWx on Twitter.
