00:00It's Wednesday, so you know what that means. Already thinking about the weekend, and already thinking about the sports games coming up, including fantasy football playoffs are starting right now, so if you have any players from Los Angeles or San Francisco, pay attention, because we will see some rain conditions.
00:14They kick off at 815. This is a Thursday night game in Santa Clara, California, and there will be some rain chances in the forecast, so that could impact the game.
00:23Temperature-wise, if you are going to the game, we'll see temperatures dipping into the 50s, low 50s by the fourth quarter, but overall, temperature-wise, it'll be mild. Vacuum weather, real field temperatures will be in the 40s.
00:32Winds will be light northerly, about 5-10, gusting up to 15 miles an hour, but overall, a pretty decent forecast shaping up for us.
00:39And then as we head into the weekend, pretty much any games, college or pro, across the East Coast, we will be dealing with some rain chances for sure here, as we had throughout your Saturday and Sunday.
00:50Speaking of Saturday, Army-Navy kicks off at Landover, Maryland, and take a look at this forecast. It'll be a little bit chilly by the third and fourth quarter, with temperatures dipping into the 30s, but the good news is, light winds, cloudy skies, so not as much sunshine as you would like to see on a Saturday afternoon, but overall, this Navy-Army game, they're always great games, and it looks like this one, the weather, is going to cooperate.
01:11As we head into the weekend on Sunday, Tampa Bay is taking on Los Angeles and Englewood, and yes, as you look right here, yep, you can definitely see, temperatures in the 60s, a really nice Southern California forecast here, shaping up. Temperatures will be in the 60s, light winds, so if you have either players from either L.A. or from Tampa Bay, you can definitely start them in the fantasy football playoffs.
01:30Now, as we look at Detroit, good news is, it's a dome, but if you are going to the game, we will be tracking cloudy skies, real field temperatures will be in the 40s on the outside, light winds, but overall, it's going to be a nice forecast here for us, so we will be watching out for some more mild conditions. Stay right here with AccuWeather Head, we'll have more updates right after this.
