Overview
- The FOX Forecast Center assigns a medium Risk of Weather Impact for Foxborough and projects snow showers lingering into the evening with temperatures starting near 35°F.
- Yahoo Sports reports one model showing about a 42% chance of snow beginning around 4 p.m. ET, while other outlooks are lower; the Boston Globe keeps the coastal storm offshore and calls for a dry, above-freezing kickoff around 37–38°F with light winds.
- A Patriots-focused update citing National Weather Service guidance still notes a chance of afternoon snow in Foxborough and potential 1–2 inches of accumulation, highlighting ongoing model disagreement.
- Potential weather effects are drawing attention to Houston’s dome background and C.J. Stroud’s outdoor dip in efficiency, with last week’s cold game featuring multiple fumbles and top target Nico Collins listed as doubtful.
- Chicago’s Rams–Bears game is expected to be much colder, with temperatures in the teens, a low near single digits, gusts of 20–30 mph with occasional 40+ mph, and a tangible snow chance, as historical data show dome teams are 2–15 outdoors below freezing since 2000.
