It will feel like below zero in Pittsburgh, Green Bay for NFL Wild Card Weekend

Fans across the country headed to the NFL Wild Card Weekend playoff games will endure brutal cold on Sunday.

Three of the four games will take place outdoors. The only game that was sheltered from the elements was the first game of the weekend between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston on Saturday.

Here is a look at the forecasts for the two outdoor Wild Card games on Sunday:

Miami Dolphins (10-6) at Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5) at 1:05 p.m. EST Sunday

Cold, breezy weather will be on tap in the Steel City on Sunday as the Steelers host the Dolphins at Heinz Field.

A high of 15 is forecast for Sunday, but a northwest breeze of 12-25 mph will make it feel like below zero, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Maggie Samuhel. Skies will be mostly cloudy.

While it won't make much of an impact, there could be a passing snow shower during the game, Samuhel said.

New York Giants (11-5) at Green Bay Packers (10-6) at 4:40 p.m. EST Sunday

Dry, but very cold weather is expected in Green Bay, Wisconsin, late Sunday afternoon as more than 81,000 pack Lambeau Field.

"There is a slight chance of a flurry during the game, but nothing more substantial than that will occur," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said.

Skies will be cloudy around at the start of the game with a kickoff temperature of 15. AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures will be near zero during the evening.

Due to a southwesterly breeze, temperatures are not expected to fall much after the sun sets and should remain steady, Samuhel said.
