There were a lot of travel delays this weekend, but they weren’t related to weather. Instead, it was related to the FAA and communication issues, which is forcing some alternative referee assignments. But the teams themselves all appear to be fine — so what about the weather implications for this week’s Texans vs. Browns game?
Let’s take at the hourly forecast for Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday:
The Browns are beginning a four-game home stretch, and we’re also at the midway point of November, so we know
the weather is going to get colder, with some chances of snow as time goes on. What you don’t want is to have either rain or wind paired with those cold conditions.
The weather doesn’t appear that it’ll be the most pleasant for the game. Temperatures will be at 45 degrees, and the feels like temperature is 39 degrees. That’s still in the range where players can be cold, but if the dress appropriately, have the adrenaline going, it should be OK. But the wind is expected to be 13 miles per hour, and the bigger issue is the potential of some rain showers in the first half of the game.
This forecast is as of Saturday evening, so we’ll try to continue monitoring the weather conditions as gametime approaches.
