Weather for NFL Opening Game

The first game of the NFL season is scheduled for 7:30pm local time on Thursday night. It takes place at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI. Of course, that's only about 150 miles northeast of Rockford the way the crow flies.

Although we have a slight chance of showers in the forecast for Thursday night in Rockford, chances for rain in Green Bay will be virtually nil. This is because the upper-level low that will be centered somewhere over Indiana or Ohio will be positioned a little to far to the south to spin moisture up into east-central Wisconsin. Therefore, the NFL opener will be played under mostly clear skies with light winds and a kick-off temperature around 66 degrees.
