Forecast For Saturday is Wet and Cold

[gblowfish]

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.”

[Why Not?]

Despite what some think about dome teams, I think a wet or sloppy field is a disadvantage for us.

[Mecca]

Damn the Chargers/Pats game is suppose to be cold as fuck with 3-5 inches of snow.

I love snow games. Can't really think of any that have happened at Arrowhead.

[Dunerdr]

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

[Prison Bitch]

With the way they’ve been running lately and their line, and our shitty LB, wet field is a major advantage for them


We need sunny and 40 with no wind.

It's a bit early to call that, the snow might miss us.

[Frazod]

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.

Wasn't it like 8 degrees in 95 for the COlts?

That was Harbaugh v. Bono. This ain't that.

[Nzoner]

As I recall it got below zero,it was the late game so like a 3:25 kick,once the sun went down,holy crap,I literally thought parts of my beard were going to snap.

Lol great. Just another reason to give the pussy fans an excuse to cry.

I've been to over 50 games at Arrowhead over the last 30 years and that was by far the coldest one, by quite a bit... sucked balls, it had to be like kicking a peice of wood, but he still should have made 1 fucking FG...:cuss:

Weather Channel saying 30s and snow for Saturday.

Only further proof that they have no idea what they are doing and are just guessing

[Reerun_KC]

Done teams have zero disadvantage in cold games. That’s a 80/90smyth when the NFL has a hole was a shit product of offenses.

[TEX]

Wasn't it like 8 degrees in 95 for the COlts?

Think 13 degrees at game time but temps dropped, so you might be right. It was the COLDEST game I've ever attended, much colder than Pitt a few years ago. Temps really didnt bother me at first, but I got colder and colder with each missed FG. By the time we lost, I was FREEZING MY AZZZZ OFF. It was a completely MISERABLE experience :cuss:

I was at a Donx game at Arrowhead where the temperature was about 10 degrees. I really didn't even think about it. We won 20-7. My hate kept me warm.

Although '95 was the coldest I remember there was also a Browns game where it was like 34 and rained the entire game,miserable was an understatement.

Just like the Jags game, right?

[Oxford]

Springfield is 180 miles south, we are supposed to get 3-5" Fri eve - Sal, with rain on Saturday.

From that I'd say the storm is tracking Arkansas into Tennessee.
So I'd say drier and colder in KC

[wazu]

Lezak seems to be leaning that we’ll be okay. Snow early but light snow at worst during game.

I remember a December game against Miami not too long ago that sucked. The wind was brutal.

[ptlyon]

I remember a December game against Miami not too long ago that sucked. The wind was brutal.

I was there too. My jack and cokes were freezing. I don't remember what the wind chill was, but I wanted to say - 50. I may be wrong about that tho.

[wazu]

I was there too. My jack and cokes were freezing. I don't remember what the wind chill was, but I wanted to say - 50. I may be wrong about that tho.

We had our beers on the grill to prevent freezing.

Yeah, fuck cold and rain. Nothing worse than that.

[Renegade]

The Denver game that was referenced was cold too. I left Branson at 5:00 AM and by the time I got to my tailgate, my gallon jug of water that I had in the tailgate was frozen solid. I didn't know that a gallon of water could freeze solid that fast.

[Stinger]

I was there too. My jack and cokes were freezing. I don't remember what the wind chill was, but I wanted to say - 50. I may be wrong about that tho.

I was there as well -22 degrees or something like that.

[wazu]

I was there as well -22 degrees or something like that.

And of course it was a late season game that meant nothing. And the Chiefs lost. To a team from Florida.

[Tonka83]

We had our beers on the grill to prevent freezing.

There were vendors in the stadium giving away beer because they were freezing and popping the tops.

[ptlyon]

I was there as well -22 degrees or something like that.

I'll trust your memory over mine. :)

I had great seats, too. The only time I ever had front row seats; they were on the 20 right by the instant replay monitor.

[Halfcan]

Gorgeous out today- they should have moved the game up.

[KC Dan]

Cold, wet and windy here in the NW. Wonder how much of it you'll get out there....

[Renegade]

Gorgeous out today- they should have moved the game up.

That didn't work so well for us against the Steelers (my memory is failing me, at least that is I believe the game that got moved)

[Halfcan]

Damn the Chargers/Pats game is suppose to be cold as **** with 3-5 inches of snow.

I wonder if the NFL will let the Pats bring the Zamboni out and clear the field for their field goal attempts?

[InChiefsHeaven]

I was at a Christmas Eve game in like 95 or 96, we were playing the Seahawks. It was cold. My wife had entered me in a contest to win tickets at KMart, and holy crap I won. We got an overnight stay at the Double Tree and "backstage passes" before the game. I got to meet Len in the booth, that was cool. But anyway, the game was fuggin' cold. Like in the 20's with wind. Wife (after about 7 hot chocolates) had to bow out...which meant I had to bow out. Chiefs won though. But I left before the 4th quarter.

Then December of 97 Went with my brother who is a Saints fan and our wives. His wife weighs like 90 pounds. It was ice rain the whole time. We left early cuz she was turning blue.

I now get tickets for games no later than November. **** that noise...

[Beef Supreme]

The forecast calls for pain.

[CupidStunt]

I'm soooooo far past caring about weather. Whether it's outside or inside, warm or cold, wet or dry, just show up and win the fucking game.

I still remember buying into the hope that Manning would struggle in the cold vs our 03 team in the playoffs. Oops.

[saphojunkie]

You are all constantly looking for reasons why we will lose.

[007]

As long as it's snow and not rain.

[007]

You are all constantly looking for reasons why we will lose.Weather will have nothing to do with that

[MTG#10]

Really? That's strange, the only forecast I saw called for

PAIN








(for the colts)

[penguinz]

3-10 inches on Saturday.

[LoneWolf]

December 2004 game vs. Denver is the coldest I’ve ever been at Arrowhead. I literally couldn’t feel my feet at the end of the game. Dante Hall returned the opening kickoff for a TD and KC kicked Denver’s ass.

[JakeF]

To me, good weather helps us and bad weather helps the colts.

[Prison Bitch]

It was 55 and sunny that day.

[RINGLEADER]

Wasn't it like 8 degrees in 95 for the COlts?

Yes. It was soul-zappingly cold.

The thing I’ll never forget is when Lin Elliott missed his third kick and the game was lost how I could hear a small section of celebrating Colts fans all together in the top bowl on the other side of the field (and two levels up). It was so cold and so quiet you could hear their cheers in the opposite corner two levels down.

[TwistedChief]

Yes. It was soul-zappingly cold.

It was so cold and so quiet you could hear their cheers in the opposite corner two levels down.

That is - always - the worst part of leaving a Chiefs playoff game on the wrong side. Hearing the minority fans like they're on the loudspeaker at a funeral and watching the opposing team like they're in a Chuckie-Cheese-bouncy-house dance onto the field.

Make. It. Stop.

[JakeF]

He's back, back again. JakeF is back.
Why can't people just be logical about the entire situation? I discuss good stuff, I discuss bad stuff. What is the fucking problem?

It's not a revelation that bad weather hurts throwing offenses and speed teams and helps power teams.

I believe that we are better than the colts at throwing the ball and we are the faster team. I believe that the colts are better at power football. That means bad weather helps the colts. Why is this being negative?

People are babies, jeez.

[KurtCauley]

Weather has shifted to 60% of Snow. 1-3 inches Friday night and up to a inch on Saturday.

Will that effect the crowd turnout?

I hope it clears out, we need Patrick to air the ball out in clear weather.

[Prison Bitch]

No. Will not affect turnout st all. It’s Sat afternoon

[JoeyChuckles]

Yeah it will effect turnout, cause we're gonna turn this mother out.

[JoeyChuckles]

Also Q.

And since you are kinda new here, Q means you re-posted something that already has a current discussion thread.

I'm the good cop of CP, you're bound to get some bad cops in here shortly.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I don't care about the cold.

I just want to stay dry.

[luv]

It's the Chiefs. In the playoffs. At Arrowhead.

Do you really think weather is going to stop fans?

[wheeler08]

Has Mahomes ever played in the snow before? I'll admit I didn't follow him in college, and any highlights of him I never seen snow.

Yeah it's way too early - I'm not surprised seeing conflicting reports. Whatever happens - expect a 2PM Enema, Colts.

[Priest31kc]

Dont see rain on any of the forecasts. Looks like just light snow and that might be done before kickoff. Should be no impact really. Just cold.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Hoping this is the case

[chiefzilla1501]

Mahomes has done fine in rain and cold. As long as he's not too impacted grip wise it's probably a huge advantage for us. Wind would actually be really nice. Luck did fine on a cold windy day in Houston a few months back but that's the closest he's had to a weather game. In rain on a warm day he looked like shit against Jacksonville. I'm still wondering how much his arm strength can handle cutting this type of wind.

[O.city]

Houston has a dome?

It was cold and windy but they left the roof open?

[Tonka83]

A smiling 23 year old Patrick Mahomes playing football in the snow will be a fun thing to watch. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the Colts. (ok not even a little bit)

[wazu]

Houston has a dome?

Rolling roof, as does Indy.

[hometeam]

looked at the forecast again and its now been revised ot include more snow and lower temps.

I don't buy that it wont affect the Colts. They aren't used to it, period. It may be minimal bu there is going to be some detriment to them, as it wont be the same footing and 'normal' play surface that they are used to as a dome team.

[Chiefnj2]

I don't know what forecasts you guys use. When I check it I see maybe a few snow flurries/showers. Nothing major by game time.

[chiefzilla1501]

It was cold and windy but they left the roof open?

Oh shit. Even better. I was just going off an nfl weather site. Houston never really opens the roof.

So basically... Luck has played no cold games this year or post arm surgery. He hasn't played in below 40 degree temperature in 3 years (?). The only weather game he's played was a rainy day in Jacksonville where the Colts got shut out.

Trying not to get too excited about it... But that could be a big deal.

[otherstar]

Wasn't it like 8 degrees in 95 for the COlts?

It was frigid. High of 9, low of -9, and wind chill well below that.

The Chiefs v. Colts game in question was actually played on 1/7/1996 and here is the historical weather data from that day. (https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/KMCI/date/1996-1-7)

I was there and have never been more miserable in my now 48 year old life. It might have been more bearable had the Chiefs won, but it was still freaking cold and my moustache had icicles in it. My feet got so cold, despite my hiking boots, and 2 pairs of heavy socks, that I swore I was going to have frostbite afterwards (thankfully, I didn't).

I think it is the 3rd coldest game on record for the NFl. Worst one I ever went to in all my years as a season ticket holder.

You know it is cold when you buy a Hot Chocolate and by the time you get to your seat, there is a layer of ice on top of it.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Good. Lets go out there and get physical with them in the cold and get the win. A big knock on Reid teams is that they are soft and too cute. No better way to prove that wrong than winning in a snow game.

Lets get that win Chiefs!!!

[KurtCauley]

Sorry about the repost, I didn't see the original thread on the weather. I know Patrick will be ready to rock and roll. I was at the Baltimore game and thought that crowd was great and it was pretty cold that day. It was like 20 degrees when I got to the field at 8 am.

Gotta brag real quick though, I was down on the field for the pregame of that game. I got to stand next to the players for the national anthem. Those guys are massive up close and personal. Most incredible experience of my life.

[MAG]

Snow game's are fun. I want one.

Cold and windy day in Houston? NRG Stadium has a retractable roof but I believe it was closed in both games down there for the Colts.

The Colts did, however, play @Titans in the rain but it was not really cold. Maybe this is what you are thinking of?

I do not think it rained in Jacksonville either. The Colts O got embarrassed by a divisional opponent in fine weather.

It may have rained @ the Eagles in week 3 and the Colts did lose that game.

I'm not sure the weather is going to have much of an impact on this game. If it turns out to be very windy or heavy snow, my opinion may change.

I was planning on driving up Friday night, but now I'm going to take Friday off and leave 1st thing Friday morning. I've already driven in a snowstorm for a Chiefs/Colts playoff game, would rather not do it again.

[JoeyChuckles]

I studied meteorology quite a bit in college, and I pursue weather as a hobby now.

Basically the NWS is the true source of info, and of course they are only using models as well.

NWS currently has precipitation starting Friday morning in KC, and off and on through Saturday. The temps will be going up and down above freezing, so it's hard to decide on a precipitation type.

Best guess from them is 1-4 inches total, with the smaller totals near KC as of now. There could be some ice/sleet at certain points.

There is no Winter Storm Watch yet, but I would expect one soon if the models stay the same, or at the least a Winter Weather advisory, which is slightly less serious. I doubt a Winter Storm Warning is in the cards for this storm.

Can't stay the night due to helping with tailgate load up here in Topeka.

[BigRedChief]

A little snow or ice won’t effect the playing surface other than being a little wet. I remember when they were selling the renovation to the voters. That was a big selling point. The majority didn’t want that portable roof thing but did like the heated field idea.

[JoeyChuckles]

I just read the NWS forecast discussion from 3pm today, so a bit of an update to my previous post.

As of now, Looks like KC precipitation starting Friday afternoon as a rain/snow mix, changing to snow overnight. Most models have us above freezing, so they are lowering the snow totals as of now.

Also of note, NWS thinks most if not all accumulating precipitation will be done by noon Saturday, with just sprinkles/flurries after that.

[BWillie]

Any precipitation is a horrible horrible thing for us. I don't care if you guys are comfortable, I care about how it will effect Mahomes and our passing offense.

European and NAM models caught it several days before and verified.

So far same trend is happening for this Saturday.

I was at the Colts game in 2013. The roads were bad from a pretty decent snow the night before and it was colder than a witch's tit. Luck was 26/37 for 241 yards and TD. Not spectacular but not the terrible performance some are saying he has in cold weather.

This model was not the highest and accusing me of being idiotic about it is very bad on your part.

This model has backed off by a couple of inches and all the other models have moved closer to its predictions. I posted this particular model because every winter there is a particular model that seems to be more accurate/consistent with picking the storms up and this winter this is the model that is.

I accept your apologies.

[carcosa]

We'll be fine!

[penguinz]

We'll be fine!Chiefs will be fine. Missouri just blows ass when it comes to snow removal so the fans will be much more effected if the current model runs verify.

[DRM08]

Andrew Luck ****ing sucks elephant AIDS dicks in the cold.

It's our advantage.

Colts might not need Luck to do much. Chiefs run defense is terrible and snow games usually force both teams to run the ball.

Yeah I can't see how any Chiefs fans can really think that this is a good thing. I agree that if conditions get to a certain point, the passing game is impacted, which is not good at all for us. It focuses more attention to the run game, which we all feel the Colts have a strong advantage. For all you lovers of football in the snow, how about you flip on some CFL games to get your fix. For us, the better the weather conditions, the bigger advantage we have. THIS team is not built for sloppy January snow games.

[wazu]

Would expect a tarp covers it as well for majority of storm. As has been stated, this will more likely be a problem for fans. I know just getting out of my neighborhood is going to be rough.

[JoeyChuckles]

Darksky.net, which uses a few models for their "hyperlocal" forecast, has the stadium at 1-2 inches total, done by 8am Saturday.

They are usually pretty good, but theirs is all computer generated.

We are built for January. It depends on if mahomes can grip the football. If he is, we have a huge advantage. The Colts become one dimensional. We don't. Luck was bad bad in warm and rainy conditions in Jacksonville. And his arm hasn't been tested in windy conditions post surgery.

That's not getting into how Colts won't have nearly the same speed on grass.

Yeah he sounds like someone not going to the game. Having set out in it for over 25 years out at Arrowhead, the actual sitting in the conditions is the easy part. It is getting in and out of the complex that will be the royal pain in the rear. In a perfect world people heading to the stadium would like to contend with ZERO snowfall. Just one less thing to have to contend with. That explains why many going to the game might be agitated by 3-5" of snow.

KC is more like a mix of east coast and south in that chart.... commute times increase when there's a hint of snow (or rain... or dark clouds), schools close with a few inches of snow on the ground, especially on the MO side since snow removal is so bad.

If it's done before the game, it's not going to even be an issue on the field. The heated surface and drainage pretty much dries it out if they have even a couple hours.

Doubtful. Trends have the heaviest east of the city
The model runs today actually have the heavier snow further west. KC isn’t in the middle of the heaviest but still in the 5+ even on the GFS which trends on the conservative side.

Listen, KC/Arrowhead Stadium ain’t gonna see any snow this Saturday if I’ve got anything to say about it.

5 inches of snow on game day?starting tomorrow evening thru 10 am or so Sat. If the temp drops sooner, the storm shift track a bit west or slows down then those numbers could increase.

We are getting tonight what you will be seeing tomorrow night. It is supposed to snow all day tomorrow here. However, if your forecast say's that your snow will stop by noon on Sat, they should have the field covered and everything should be fine I would think.

Should be done by game time. MO snow removal blows ass so may suck getting into parking lots.

[BigRedChief]

starting tomorrow evening thru 10 am or so Sat. If the temp drops sooner, the storm shift track a bit west or slows down then those numbers could increase.as long as it quits by 10:00 am they can get the field plowed and let the heated field take care of the rest.

Fans can just knock the snow off the seats. Get you some cardboard, put it on top of the snow to put your feet on and your all set.

[JoeyChuckles]

Dark sky.net now has 2-5 inches total for the storm, so they’ve picked up something. I would expect NWS to change their forecast in the morning if the overnight model runs say the same thing. I still don’t trust local news forecasts, who are primarily concerned with ratings, even though I like Gary lezak.

[chiefforlife]

I dont think the Chiefs give a shit about the weather, I dont think it will effect our game either way.
The Colts are the only team that should worry about the weather, it may effect them.

GO CHIEFS!!!

Nobody gives a shit that it snows or not - they just care how it effects the game. You can't fucking throw a football in the snow. What is our best weapon? Patrick fucking Mahomes. If it's snowing heavy snow flakes during the game - it makes it harder.

I was going to put a huge wager on the Chiefs to cover, but if it is going to snow - all bets are off.

Right. The field is heated so it’s highly, highly unlikely to accumulate at all. I’m expecting it to be a chilly game with light wind.

[tk13]

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.

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=233697&d=1547186296

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.

In what world is the east coast not capable of handling snow? Especially the northeast.

Yeah, this is the dumbest fucking thing I've seen in a while. I was born and raised and still live in the midwest, but travel to work in NE. Those mother fuckers don't care if it snows 4 fucking feet. Most of my work is in the rural mountains of VT. In one day we got over 2' of snow on top of whatever was there, and that didn't put a dent in the daily life of anyone I interacted with.

Last time I can remember Missouri getting 18" in a day and the entire state seemed to fall apart.

Post a METAR tomorrow and watch heads explode on CP trying to translate it.

[JoeyChuckles]

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.

[Titty Meat]

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

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

[Bowser]

The KC local weatherpeople are now saying 4-8 inches around KC proper, 6-10 from mid-Mo towards St. Louis. It's supposed to continue snowing through kickoff, but the heavy accumulating stuff will have already dropped. Supposedly.

[EyePod]

Despite what some think about dome teams, I think a wet or sloppy field is a disadvantage for us.

I think it doesn't help Luck. His away splits are significantly worse. He's also worse on grass as well.

http://www.nfl.com/player/andrewluck/2533031/situationalstats

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.

[JoeyChuckles]

The overall storm appears to have slowed down and tracked a bit further west. NWS is saying the precipitation is starting to mix with snow now, with full conversion later this afternoon or evening. The timing of that change will likely be what leads to small or large amounts of snow. If it changes to all snow in KC before 6, I'd go for 6 inches total. If it changes after that, maybe 3-6 inches. It looks like it will be done accumulating snow sometime between 12-4pm tomorrow, with just flurries/showers after that.

[baitism]

Lezak gets 8" every night.

[007]

It's been so long since it had snowed this close to a game. Do the chiefs plow the parking at all or so they just have everyone drive over it. If they do plow where do they usually put the excess? Just curious if the grass medians will be blocked for tailgating.

It's 72 and sunny in Olathe?

The overall storm appears to have slowed down and tracked a bit further west. NWS is saying the precipitation is starting to mix with snow now, with full conversion later this afternoon or evening. The timing of that change will likely be what leads to small or large amounts of snow. If it changes to all snow in KC before 6, I'd go for 6 inches total. If it changes after that, maybe 3-6 inches. It looks like it will be done accumulating snow sometime between 12-4pm tomorrow, with just flurries/showers after that.It is almost like I have been saying this for two days.

Starting to stick in OP.

Maybe a little on grass but I’m looking at our parking lot in OP and cars just look rained on.

It's going to be the most Chiefs thing if we finally have an MVP QB and his first playoff game is in the snow.

Has PM ever thrown a ball in the snow?

I don't know, but Denver was cold AF last year.

Not to mention Lubbock, Texas gets pretty fucking cold.......

Has PM ever thrown a ball in the snow?

I googled for a solid 2 minutes and came up empty. One thing he has proven, though, is he can succeed with little/no experience.

The forecast for tomorrow is HOT. DAMN HOT. HOT AND WET. That's good if you with a lady but ain't no good out in the jungle!

[carcosa]

Yeah I'm not too worried about whether Patrick Mahomes can throw in the snow

[Kiimo]

The past 40 years have taught me that 90% of the time KC freaks out about an upcoming snow storm the result is *wet fart*

But hey keep it coming how else is Price Chopper gonna sell all these bags of salt

We're getting quite a bit in CoMo. Roads are already terrible.

[gblowfish]
