00:00Welcome back to AccuWeather Ahead. Now that we are in the heart of December, that means that the football games get more important, which means the weather that could impact those gets just as important.
00:11First game I'm going to show you is one that kicks off on Thursday night in Detroit. Now the good news for Detroit is that it's a dome stadium, so inside the conditions won't be too bad.
00:21But if you are thinking of going to the game whenever you're going to and leaving, yes, we are going to see temperatures well below freezing in the upper 20s.
00:28But look at these AccuWeather Real Field temperatures. They will be in the teens, so a very cold commute to and from that big game in Detroit.
00:35Both those teams are vying for a first-round buy there in the NFL.
00:40Going to the college game Friday up in Boise, Idaho, UNLV takes on the Broncos.
00:45And yes, kickoff temperatures will be above freezing, but by the fourth quarter, temperatures are going to be right around freezing.
00:51The good news is light winds, cloudy skies, but overall it looks like it's going to be a cold, chilly night up in Idaho for that big game.
00:58West Point, Army taking on Tulane. We're going to see cold weather here Friday night at 8 o'clock Eastern kickoff time.
01:05We'll see temperatures in the 20s with, once again, those AccuWeather Real Field temperatures in the teens.
01:09And West Point, that's an outdoor game. The Army's going to be taking on Tulane. Tulane's from Louisiana, so yes, hopefully they'll be prepared for the cold weather.
01:17That's what we're going to be tracking there on Friday.
01:19Heading into Saturday, a big game. Iowa State taking on Arizona State, the Big 12 championship game in Arlington.
01:26You can see right here, temperatures in the 40s and 50s, a couple of isolated rainfall chances.
01:31So yes, once again, in a domed stadium with a roof, so overall not the biggest weather impacts inside the game.
01:37But if you are going to be going to and from, we will be watching out for that.
01:40And then the SEC, Georgia, taking on Texas, the biggest game of the weekend.
01:45The good news is we're going to see nice weather here for this game that kicks off on Saturday.
01:49Stay right here with AccuWeather Ahead. We'll have more updates right after this.
