It doesn't seem to be the end of the world at this point. Still a day to see how it plays out though. Doesn't sound like it should affect the game too much.

Although it certainly seems there could be a real concern about people getting to the stadium and in their seats on time. Doesn't really matter if it's snow or freezing rain.

I have faith Tyreek and Kelce can catch the ball in any weather. And Mahomie can figure out how to zip it to them.

I have a theory that pretty much any weather benefits the home team. Visting teams are geared up to fight the fans, but now they have to fight the weather too? I think it energizes home teams and saps road teams.

FWIW, I always go with the forecasts that come from NOAA for pilots and aviation businesses. Over the years, I've found them to be by far the most accurate. Here is a snapshot of the 36 hour forecast for the Midwest on Saturday, 12 January 2018.

Here is the TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) for KMCI (Kansas City International Airport)

As of right now (just after midnight, Friday 11 January 2018), it looks like the forecast for the KC area is going to be light winds from the east/southeast with moderate rainfall for Friday night/early morning hours Saturday, changing to winds from the east at 8mph and light snow prior to kickoff.

It was very cold but the field was dry for that game. It had not snowed that day or the day before.

I think this favors KC.
[Reply]

Latest models show snow during the game. Maybe an inch or so.
[Reply]

So we went from 5 inches to a dusting-1 inch?
[Reply]

No, it's sped up a bit.

3-5 inches tonight, and 1-3 tomorrow.

It has not sped up. Two days ago they were expecting the precip to be done by mid morning. Now they are saying in the evening.
[Reply]

No, that much will fall DURING the game.

NWS still has not issued a Winter Storm Warning for KC, which means as of now they don't predict all those high totals the local stations are using to get people to tune in. NWS is more in the 2-5 inch total as of now.

I'll be able to go more in-depth into their forecasts in the next few hours and post an update.

You are wrong here. The WSW is now only a county away. NWS has never been proactive for this area.
