Weather forecast: Raiders, Chiefs to have wet Christmas at Arrowhead

For Christmas morning this year, the NFL is gifting fans with the Raiders vs Chiefs in Kansas City. Well, it’s Christmas morning if you’re on the West of the Rockies, anyway, as the game will kick off at Noon local time in Kansas City which is 10am Pacific and 1pm Eastern time.

Late December in Kansas City is often just asking for a snowy affair. And there will be precipitation, but with the temperature expected to be around 50 degrees at game time, it won’t be so much a white Christmas but a wet one for these two rivals.

The current forecast calls for rain Sunday to Tuesday, which could mean a muddy field and a wet, slippery ball.

We’ve still five days from the game, so the forecast could change between now and then.

Overall, the NFL has scheduled three games on Christmas Day this year, making it much like Thanksgiving. The seconds game on the slate is in The Giants and Eagles in Philadelphia, with the final matchup being the Ravens and 49ers in Santa Cla…ra.
