Wind and Cold to Greet Bears Fans at Soldier Field Saturday Night

Westerly gusts near 30 mph will make it feel colder than the upper 20s at kickoff.

Overview

  • Kickoff conditions are expected to be mostly cloudy with a 35%–40% chance of isolated snow showers and a greater likelihood of no snow during the game.
  • Temperatures will slip from mid-30s in the afternoon to the upper 20s and low 30s by evening, with overnight lows falling into the 20s.
  • Westerly winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to about 30 mph are the primary concern for fans due to a raw wind-chill feel.
  • Any early light snow should bring only minor, slushy accumulation mainly on grassy surfaces, generally around a half-inch to an inch, with roads mostly wet.
  • Looking ahead, Sunday turns mostly sunny and cool, Monday warms into the low to mid-40s, rain is possible Tuesday evening, snow is possible Wednesday, and Thursday looks mostly sunny near 30 degrees.
