The 49ers vs Bills weather report will be a very popular topic of conversation among football fans and bettors ahead of Sunday Night Football (8:20 p.m. ET on NBC).
Snow has been falling in Buffalo since Saturday afternoon and will continue today, though the timing and amount of snow could vary ahead for Sunday Night Football.
Below, we dig into the updated NFL weather report for Bills vs. 49ers, including how much snow is expected at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night.
49ers vs Bills Weather Forecast
According to the National Weather Service, two to five inches of snow are in Sunday's forecast for Buffalo with temperatures in the mid-20s and a wind chill around 16 degrees.
Yikes.
However, the hourly breakdown indicates that the snow could taper off during tonight's game.
There's a 77% chance of snow at 8 p.m. ET, which is about 20 minutes ahead of the scheduled kickoff time.
From there, the chances of snow dip to 52% by 10 p.m. ET and down to 39% by 11 p.m. ET.
For NFL bettors, the wind is likely more important as strong breezes can impact each team's passing and kicking games, making scoring more difficult for offenses.
Similar to the snow, the wind is expected to die down as the game progresses, starting at 11 mph around kickoff before calming to 8 mph at 11 p.m. ET.
Interestingly, the Sunday Night Football total dropped from 46 to 43.5 earlier this week at BetMGM, before being bought back up to 44.5 across the market according to our live NFL odds.
49ers vs Bills Preview
The 49ers are still banged up, but it sounds likely that quarterback Brock Purdy will return under center this week. It won't be under ideal conditions, though.
The Bills are 6.5-point favorites, but Chris Raybon's pick is on the over/under.
