Just checked Intellicast. 42 and blazing sun on Sunday as it stands right now. Perfect.

Yeah but the night when the game hits it's going to be a lot colder but the wind will die down after sunset.

It'll be in the 30's at kickoff that's cold but not really cold enough to make a big deal about mostly it's perfect football weather.

So basically the same as Seattle this year except with a grass field.

We were 7-1 playing outside Phoenix stadium
Weather should not be an issue

I think we lucked out this year and got good weather on all the road games. Big storm will be hitting the mid-Atlantic this weeked, with ice/rain in the Charlotte area.

Right now the forecast doesn't appear to be any worse than the Seattle or Philly games. We should be ok.

The fly out on Saturday according to the NFL network.

CNN just said the airport could be shut down for ice. (Not sure if that was for tomorrow or Saturday.)

Edit to add...Charlotte is on a winter storm warning through Saturday 7pm EST. Snow, sleet and ice expected through Saturday morning.

Hopefully the weather is so bad they have to move the game here, LOL!

Current Thursday : Also hard-hit was Charlotte, where nearly 80 flights were preemptively canceled ahead of icy and wintry weather was expected Friday.

Ya Airport closed, not sure what the team is going to do getting there. As of now it should be open on Saturday when they are planning on getting there.

Here is the latest update through a company I consult for in my spare time...

Just checked Intellicast. Showing a rough day Friday, but cloudy and cold Saturday and sunny and 44 degrees on Sunday. Hoping for the best.

Man this is shaping up to be an epic storm for the east. It may impact our travel, which could suck for the players. Hope this isn't part of the storyline Sunday.

Thy should postpone the game, IMO. Too unsafe. Not fair to make Cards show up day of game. Maybe they can move game to Tennessee?

Whew, I'm glad to be just on the very edge of all that :)

you on the northern edge and me on the southern edge.... I live in SW Mississippi and we had a chance of snow for this morning....I checked the radar and it aint likely around here...but we had tornado warnings last night.

Panthers looking for a place to practice today (Friday) due to weather. Convention center where they normally go is booked. I like that this is throwing them out of their routine.

I actually do wonder what the NFL rule is on this stuff. If the Cards can't actually get to Carolina until Sunday are they still going to play the game or postpone it? You can certainly argue that it's unfair to make a team play with such dangerous travel conditions limiting how they get there. i guess the counter is the NFL can say the Cards should have gone earlier,

I expect the game to be played but it's obviously a huge disadvantage if the Cards can't get there until Sunday so hopefully we are able to get there earlier and rest and get a workout in.

That's the main reason we wanted to have a home game IMO, lack of weather concern.
