Green Bay weather forecast for Saturday’s Packers game vs. 49ers

Here is a look at what the weather forecast will be heading into Saturday night’s NFC playoff game between the No. 6 San Francisco 49ers and the No. 1 Green Bay Packers.

Weather may be an issue when the Green Bay Packers host the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.

The top-seeded Packers host the No. 6-seed 49ers in the NFC Divisional round. The winner of this game will face the winner of the other divisional round game between the No. 2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the No. 4 Los Angeles Rams with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Given that this is a January night game from frigid Green Bay, Wisconsin, what is the weather forecast?

While snow is not expected to fall during kickoff, look for this one to get to and stay in single digits.

Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers weather forecast

With kickoff being at 7:15 p.m. CT on Saturday night, it will be mostly cloudy and temperatures dropping to 11 degrees Fahrenheit. Though there is only a four-percent chance of precipitation, there will be a nine-mile-per-hour, west-by-northwest wind, making it feel like 2 degrees Fahrenheit. It will stay cloudy with the temperature dropping to as low as 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ultimately, it is going to be all about handling the cold instead of the snow or the wind in this one. Snowfall may occur in the early hours of Saturday morning, but there will be plenty of time for it to be removed from the Frozen Tundra. The weather does give the Packers a distinct home-field advantage, but the 49ers have a chance because they will not be playing in a blizzard on Saturday.

The weather conditions on Saturday night should make for a very compelling television broadcast.
