2016 NFL Playoffs weather forecast: No blizzard for the conference championships

Will the blizzard of 2016 cause problems for one NFL conference championship game along the East Coast? Here’s your Championship Sunday weather forecast.

All week and weekend the blizzard of 2016 has been making headlines along the East Coast of the United States. Even Charlotte, N.C., had to deal with ice and snow Friday and Saturday. But for Sunday night’s NFC Championship in Charlotte, weather will not be a problem. In fact, weather will be mostly sunny for most of the day Sunday with afternoon temperatures in the 40s and game-time temperatures getting into the 30s.

As for the AFC Championship in Denver, Colo., for the Patriots and Broncos, there’s a chance of rain/snow near the end of the game but it’s not a big enough system to cause too many problems. Temperatures during the game will be in the low 40s.
