00:00Let's take a look at some NFL forecasts here. We're coming up into wild card weekend and we've got some big weather impacts for a couple of these games. The one that I'm most concerned about with significant weather impacts, the outdoor venue there. We have Charlotte, North Carolina, Saturday, your Saturday morning. We have a game in the late afternoon and look at this, a wall of rain and thunderstorms moving in and through the region. There may be some lightning during game time.
00:25So our matchup here, L.A. at Carolina, we have the potential for some thunderstorms around, and this could lead to perhaps lightning delays during that game.
00:36There's another game in the southeast on Sunday, a little farther south, and you can see Sunday, our same front is moving east and southeast, moving through areas like Jacksonville.
00:45Buffalo against Jacksonville, still some lingering showers around before the game, most likely.
00:51And our hope is, in the most likely cases, that the front should be through or at least exiting during the game.
00:58So still potential for some early lightning and rain into the early part of the day, and we're hoping to get that out of our area there before 1 p.m.
01:08Saturday, kind of backtracking in time, but taking you up into the north central U.S.
01:12We've got a day with big changes in Chicago.
01:14Snow to start, and then we get a break in the action for the middle of the day.
01:18This is a night game, 8 Eastern, 7 Central, and some snow showers and flurries may be returning to the area,
01:25but the bigger story is that cold, biting wind driving temperatures and AccuWeather, real field temperatures especially way down.
01:32AccuWeather, real field temperature of 9 degrees in the fourth quarter, so bundle up out there, it's going to get cold.
01:37That inch or so of snow will have been falling in the morning, long before game time.
01:42Snow flurries may linger there.
01:43Sunday, we've got Philadelphia at home.
01:46We should be in pretty good shape, just blustery there.
