Chiefs Forecast For Saturday is Wet and Cold

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.”

I think wet is more worrisome for db's trying to keep hill and Watkins underneath.

We need sunny and 40 with no wind.

This. We need to be able to force them to air it out. They go ground pound and we’re fucked.

It's also a team playing its second consecutive road game that is not accustomed to those conditions.

Fuck 'em. I want it cold and miserable. Last time we had lovely weather for a Colts playoff game was 2004. No thank you.
