Chiefs at Ravens Weather Report: Stormy Weather Looms Over Baltimore Ahead of AFC Conference Heavyweight Showdown

When the Kansas City Chiefs set foot in Baltimore, they will be greeted by adverse weather. The Ravens will host the AFC championship game after a 53-year gap. Lamar Jackson’s side has become more formidable this season with each game. The Chiefs are going to the AFC championship game for the sixth straight season under Patrick Mahomes, and the team has peaked at the right time.

The much-hyped clash between Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes will give everyone goosebumps. Their biggest foe during the matchup will be heavy rains forecast to hit the city on game day.

AFC championship game amid cold, wind, rain, and a hint of snow

Clouds will cover the city on Saturday. According to reports, the weather will start deteriorating in the evening. Rain will engulf the Baltimore-Washington area from the west and south. It is predicted to rain the whole night and will continue until Sunday. However, there are chances that the intensity of the rain will lower or the rain can stop entirely during the game. Still, 0.5 to 1 inch will cover the ground in certain areas.

The temperature will stay in the 40s during the day, and wind speed is predicted to range between 10 mph and 20 mph. The pivotal weather model forecast shows that the rains can convert into wet snow showers late Sunday evening and overnight. Keep your ponchos handy and wear warm clothing to the game, as the rains and cold breaking records this year.

This is the second wettest winter in Baltimore after 87 years. It has rained 12.36 inches through Wednesday, close to 12.59 inches of rain during 1936-37. Washington State has seen six rainy days from 1901 to 1902 with more than one inch of rain, which is a record. This year, the state has seen five already, and as per predictions, the game day will become the sixth rainy day of the season. So, which team will perform better in the cold and rain?

On the other hand, the Chiefs have played the coldest game this season at Arrowhead. Last week, the team battled through snowy weather at the Bills Stadium. Both times, the Chiefs won. Still, their performance in the rain is not outstanding, as the team is prone to fumble the wet ball when it counts the most. The team that rides the weather well will take the AFC title.
