Bitter wind chills await fans headed to Arrowhead Stadium for Chiefs and Titans game
Fans headed to Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and Titans will have to brace themselves for Kansas City’s coldest temperatures of the season, according to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill.
Temperatures across the region Sunday will be frigid, ranging between the teens and the mid-20s. When you factor in the wind, it will feel more like a few degrees below zero.
“Hats, gloves, scarfs, warm boots, and insulated jackets will be needed if spending prolonged periods outside,” the weather service said online.
This is the coldest that Kansas City has been this winter season. Previously, the coldest high was 22 degrees on Jan. 11.
The AFC Championship game on Sunday may be one of coldest playoff contests in Chiefs history too.
The weather service said those headed outside should expect temperatures to still be the mid-teens at 10 a.m., with wind chills around 1 degree.
Temps at kickoff, just after 2 p.m., will have warmed to around 20 degrees with wind chills around 8 degrees. By 6 p.m., temps will have returned to the mid-teens.
