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.”
***WINTER STORM*** Higher snowfall totals looking likely, especially along/south of the I-70 corridor, including portions of the KC Metro! South half of KC Metro 6"-9"; Sedalia to Moberly 9"-12".

Sounds like the NWS and most of the local stations are in agreement that bulk of the real heavy snow will be just through the morning. But...there's still going to be a chance of light snow and freezing rain all the way through the evening. [Reply]

light snow or freezing rain should be taken care of by the heated field. Slick ball and field isn’t good but better than having to trudge through snow to score. [Reply]
