Snow Likely for Patriots–Bills as Forecasts Weigh Kickoff Timing

Forecasters flag uncertain timing that could leave flurries at kickoff.

Gillette Stadium has played host to a handful of memorable snow games over the years.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service projects about 2–3 inches in Foxborough from Saturday night into Sunday, with most accumulation expected before late morning.
  • AccuWeather pegs the snow chance as high with up to three inches possible, while The Weather Channel and NFL Weather still allow for light snow near the 1 p.m. start.
  • Boston Globe meteorology points to precipitation from early morning into mid-afternoon, keeping the door open for lingering snow showers during the first half.
  • Game-time temperatures should hover near freezing with wind chills around the 20s and gusts that could reach roughly 20–22 mph, though the stadium’s design may limit on-field wind effects.
  • A New England victory would clinch the AFC East, and both teams have recent cold-weather reps, with Buffalo playing in snow last week and the Patriots emphasizing outdoor practice.
