As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for the AFC Wild Card Game against the Miami Dolphins at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium this Saturday, fans need to brace themselves for some brutal weather conditions.
The forecast for this Saturday night showdown predicts bone-chilling temperatures hovering around 0 degrees Fahrenheit, accompanied by winds ranging from 10 to 15 mph. According to the National Weather Service, the high temperature is anticipated to reach around 14 degrees, with a bone-numbing low of negative-2 Saturday night into Sunday morning.
The Weather Channel’s forecast isn’t offering much reprieve, projecting a high of 13 with winds between 10 and 20 mph and a frigid low of negative-1.
While forecasts are subject to change, the looming specter of extremely cold weather raises the possibility of this game becoming the coldest in Chiefs history. It might even set a record for the lowest temperature ever recorded during a Chiefs postseason game.
The Dolphins, unfortunately, missed the chance to avoid this icy matchup by falling short in their last two regular-season games. As a result, the Buffalo Bills clinched the AFC East title and secured the 2-seed in the AFC, hosting the seventh-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday.
