The AccuWeather RealFeel is calling for things to feel like just 43 degrees during the afternoon.
The temperature will only continue to drop throughout the game as the nighttime low is calling for 29 degrees with a chance of a rain and snow mix at night, which could impact the later parts of this game. According to AccuWeather’s RealFeel, the evening will feel as low as 23 degrees due to wind and rain.
