Weather for Saturday's game

It's going to rain but Seattle rain is usually very light rain. If you're going to the game expect to be standing the whole game...bring worm+rain attire and some gloves.

bring worm? are we going fishing?

Or are you flying us all out there, and providing your house as a place to stay for the extended weekend?

I'm trying to scrap enough $$ together so I can fly up to the game on Sat. I hope it rains I like our running game better then Seattle’s. I’m glad this is the team we start with, the Seahawks are ripe for the picking right now. HTTR!!!

It's baby talk? I don't know about staying at my place but I'm certainly willing to treat you with a few drinks and celebrate a victory.

the seattle field can drain 7 inches an hour (i think that's what i heard), so it won't affect footing much (just a little slippery), and we've seen todd in crazy wind and in some rain, so as long as we don't get both, it shouldn't really matter too much.

much rather be playing in the kingdome,I dont understand wtf they were thinking when they built this stadium,or maybe I'm just pissed that last time we played them in the playoffs the weather sucked and we lost

I just looked up the weather and around game time they are calling for light rain and winds from 15 to 7 mph. From what I could tell the wind will die down in the evening.

Take a gander at those winds. SSW 18 to 24 mph. And those are just the sustained winds!!! Gusts could approach 40 mph. Now, I don't know how much the wind swirls inside Qwest, but if it's only half as disruptive as it is in the Meadowlands, signs point to the Hawks' passing game grinding to a halt.

And don't get me started about the rain and how it always falls in SEA; while almost true, this kind of meteorological set up will prove to be the wettest and windiest conditions that stadium has possibly ever experienced. There will be so many mud-caked unis and unwieldy footballs that the broadcast booth won't know what to talk about more: the horrific weather or the Skins' resilience to it. To invoke the words of Steve Spurrier, that ball club (SEA) just ain't gonna pitch it around too well.

It's field turf there will be no mud on the uni's..

Not only it is going to a lot of rain pouring and winds going from 20-30 mph. It is also expected to have alittle thundering in the afternoon. I hope it doesn't effect the game though!

If there are 20-30 mph winds, I like our chances that much more.

Also don't forget the turf and wind the week before that.

Oh, I didn't forget. If the weather tomorrow in Seattle is like it is today in San Francisco, the game would be an adventure. Gusts up to 100MPH, 4 or more inches of rain in 12 hours. Lake Tahoe is expecting 10 feet of snow by Sunday, not inches, feet. Quite the storm!! CBS 5 - San Francisco Bay Area's source for news, weather, traffic and sports
