NFL Week 6 Weather Report: Advice & Predictions (2023)
Doesn’t it seem like the 2023 NFL regular season just started? Shockingly, we’re on to Week 6 already, which is 33% through the 18-week slate. The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers are off on bye weeks, while the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans are overseas for the NFL’s third consecutive London game.
There will be eight total games played outdoors, and weather will be a factor, particularly in the Midwest. As we get into October, we start to get plenty of storm systems sweeping across the northern regions, kicking up showers and plenty of wind, although we’re not quite to the point where frozen precipitation is a factor. Still, expect plenty of slick surfaces on Sunday.
Let’s look at the Week 6 weather report.

Forecast: 50 degrees, 5% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 7-9 MPH
We get another Sunday morning game to watch on TV in the States, as the United Kingdom hosts an international game for the third consecutive weekend. The weather will be a little on the cool side, but no pea soup like London is famous for.
Washington Commanders at Atlanta Falcons (-2.5), Total 42.5
Forecast: Indoors
Wind speed: This game is played in a dome.
The Falcons are at home inside for the second consecutive weekend, while the Commanders are out of the elements for the first time in six games this season.
Minnesota Vikings (-3) at Chicago Bears, Total 44
Forecast: 52 degrees, 40% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 16-19 mph
The precipitation is expected to let up around the first quarter or so. We’ll get an early slick surface and, all through the game, we might see gusts up to 25 mph potentially affecting the passing game and kicking game.
San Francisco 49ers (-9.5) at Cleveland Browns, Total 35.5
Forecast: 54 degrees, 40% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 14-17 mph
The rain chances go from 40% at kickoff to around 50% by the end of the game. There will also be a steady gale blowing off of Lake Erie with gusts up to 25 or 30 mph. As a result, we should see a lot more from the run game on both sides.
Seattle Seahawks at Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5), Total 45.5
Forecast: 56 degrees, 15% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 9-11 MPH
The weather will be on the cool side, with a lot of cloud cover. That should make the Seahawks feel like it’s a home game at Lumen Field. There isn’t much of a concern with precipitation.
Carolina Panthers at Miami Dolphins (-14), Total 47.5
Forecast: 86 degrees, 15% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 7-10 MPH
While summer fades into autumn, and the temperatures start to fall like the leaves most everywhere else, South Florida remains boiling hot with very little cool air to speak of. At least it won’t be stormy.
Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars (-4.5), Total 44.5
Forecast: 72 degrees, 5% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 11-13 MPH

Forecast: Indoors
Wind speed: This game is played in a dome.
