Projected weather for Bengals vs. Chiefs matchup on Sunday

It is going to be cold in Kansas City on Championship Sunday. The current forecast sets the high temperature at 22 degrees, meaning it will likely be considerably colder for most of the game. That marks a nearly 30-degree cool down from Friday's 48-degree high temperature. It is expected to be cloudy with a 24 percent chance of precipitation and winds out of the north at 13 miles per hour.
