00:00If you think weather's already been a story this World Cup, just wait until this week.
00:03In Miami tonight, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay could deal with showers and thunderstorms during the match.
00:08And because Hard Rock Stadium is open air, lightning could cause delays.
00:12Then Wednesday, thunderstorms are possible before, during, and after Portugal vs. DR Congo in Houston.
00:17The stadium has a roof, so the match itself should be protected, but fans heading to and from the game
00:21could still be dealing with storms and real field temperatures pushing the upper 90s.
00:25Plus, we're concerned about dangerous flooding.
00:27Then later that night, Uzbekistan vs. Colombia could see showers and even a thunderstorm around kickoff in Mexico City.
00:33Then on Saturday, Kansas City may have the greatest risk of a weather delay.
00:37Thunderstorms are expected to develop during the second half of Ecuador vs. Curacao and could trigger lightning delays.
00:44Sunday in Miami, Uruguay vs. Cabo Verde could face a different challenge.
00:48Real field temperatures are forecast to top 100 degrees before kickoff through the end of the match
00:53and in an open-air stadium, making heat-related illness the biggest threat heading to any of the World Cup
00:59festivities.
00:59In these cities, stay weather-aware and stay safe.
