Philadelphia will be unusually hot as the NFC Championship Game kicks off on Sunday afternoon, while Kansas City will experience a typically chilly January evening for the AFC Championship Game.
The forecast for Sunday in Philadelphia calls for temperatures around 53 degrees at the 3 p.m. Eastern kickoff of the 49ers-Eagles game. Temperatures will only drop a few degrees during the game, although rain is possible by the fourth quarter. Winds of around 10 mph are expected during the game.
In Kansas City, it will be much colder when the Bengals-Chiefs kick off at 5:30 p.m. Central. The forecast is around 21 degrees at kick-off, with temperatures dropping into the teens by the second half. Winds of around 10 mph are also expected during this game.
No snow is forecast, so the many NFL fans who enjoy watching a snow game from the comfort of their homes will be deprived of that pleasure.
