Inclement weather forecasts impact three NFL Week 1 games on Sunday

Weather conditions could affect the Pittsburgh Steelers-Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars-Cleveland Browns matchups this Sunday. The game in Atlanta features a 31% chance of rain and a slight possibility of thunderstorms throughout the contest. In Jacksonville, the forecast calls for a 46% chance of rain during the game, though no thunderstorms are expected. The Tampa Bay and Cincinnati matchup shows a 17% chance of rain with possible thunderstorms around kickoff, though conditions are expected to improve by the second quarter. Wind speeds across these venues are not projected to exceed 10 miles per hour, with the exception of the Jacksonville game where gusts are expected to reach 8 miles per hour. While rushing attacks generally remain unaffected, slick conditions and potential rain may complicate ball handling, passing, and kicking performances for the involved teams.
