Showers Put Damper on Saturday but Dry Out in Time for Sunday Football

Football Fans May Get a Break from the Rain Just in Time for Kickoff

Rain showers are expected to put a damper on Saturday plans across the United States, but football fans may catch a break just in time for Sunday's games. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a hazardous weather outlook for much of the country, with heavy rain and thunderstorms possible from the Midwest to the East Coast.

Saturday Washout

The NWS warns that widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely to impact much of the country on Saturday, with the heaviest rain expected in the Ohio Valley and the Northeast. Some areas could see up to several inches of rain, leading to localized flooding and travel disruptions. Outdoor events and activities should be rescheduled or moved indoors, if possible.

Sunday Relief

However, there is some good news for football fans. The NWS predicts that the rain will start to taper off on Saturday night, and by Sunday morning, most areas should be dry. This means that the weather should be cooperating for Sunday's NFL games, with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures expected across the country.

Game Day Forecast

Here is a look at the game day forecast for some major NFL cities:

• New York City: Sunny, high of 65 degrees
• Chicago: Mostly sunny, high of 60 degrees
• Los Angeles: Sunny, high of 75 degrees
• Dallas: Mostly sunny, high of 70 degrees

While the weather looks promising for Sunday's games, fans should still be prepared for the possibility of rain showers, especially in the early afternoon. It's always a good idea to bring a raincoat or umbrella just in case.
