NFL Forecast

NFL Weather for week 8: This looks to be the most impactful week for weather yet. I'm always going to post about rain or snow and cold temps, but what I really look for to impact the game is high wind, and this week we have some of the windiest games you'll see all season. As always the written forecast consists only of games with some weather concerns/interests , you can always scroll down to the automated section for an hourly wind/temp/precip forecast for each game. For last minute updates be sure to follow along on Twitter, @KevinRothWx.

• YELLOW : TEN @ CIN -

  Winds should be around (and likely a bit over) 15mph sustained with gusts 25mph. If not for 3 other games that are actually significantly windier I'd probably be pointing out that this will be impactful on deeper throws and kicks... but we've got bigger fish to fry this week.

• GREEN : NYJ @ KCC -

  Winds 10-15mph (this is not the bigger fish).

• ORANGE : NEP @ BUF -

  Ugly day for football, windy (20mph sustained), wet (scattered showers), and chilly (temps in the 40s). No one weather variable is all that disruptive on its own, but when you jam them all together it makes for tough sledding on the offensive side of the ball.

• RED : LVR @ CLE -

  Chance for showers and 25mph sustained winds! Yes, you read that right, sustained winds of 25mph, gusts around 40mph. It's going to be very, very tough to throw deep or kick long FG's, big bump down to the passing game, the kicking game, and offense in general.

• RED : MIN @ GBP -

  Again we are looking at winds around 25mph sustained and gusts close to 40mph. It's also going to be very cold, temp in the 30s with a feels-like temp in the 20s. Bump down to passing/kicking/offense in general.

• RED : NOS @ CHI -

  Same deal, 25mph sustained winds, gusts around 40mph. You just can't throw deep (unless it's perfectly with the wind) in those conditions. Short/intermediate passes and the running game will be relied on heavily.
