Overview
- A warm front will bring scattered light showers Friday morning to the Foxborough area, so tailgates may see brief rain before the match.
- Kickoff is expected to be muggy with temperatures in the upper 70s and dew points in the mid‑to‑upper 60s, and NWS places roughly a 20% chance of rain around 3 p.m.
- The National Weather Service and local forecasters say isolated thunderstorms are possible after about 2 p.m., meaning some storms could form during the match.
- Forecasters advise the main line of stronger, potentially severe storms with heavy downpours, damaging wind gusts of 50–60 mph and a marginal hail risk is most likely to arrive after the final whistle.
- Fans should monitor stadium alerts and be ready to follow FIFA’s lightning rule requiring a 30‑minute delay and evacuation if lightning is detected within eight miles.
