Super Bowl Forecast
Super Bowl Forecast
When Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI in Miami, an unprecedented rainstorm delivered a setting that no one will soon forget.

If this Sunday's forecast stays true, weather won't be factor. All indications point toward a dry and cool Super Bowl XLIV.

That's a stark contrast to the Colts' 29-17 win over the Chicago Bears in 2007. That year was the first time rain had fallen throughout the big game.

Forecasters say a cold front is expected and the projected temperature at kickoff time (6:25 p.m. ET) will be around 65 degrees. That is a few degrees below normal for this time of year in the South Florida area.

By
game's end, the temperature should fall into the upper 50s, which might seem downright balmy by Indianapolis' standards for February.

The projected high for the Indy area for Sunday is about 25 degrees while the region sits under a Winter Storm Watch. The city of New Orleans is not expected to be much better with lows in the lower 40's.

Manning is attempting to join a short list of quarterbacks, including John Elway, Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady and Joe Montana, to win more than one Lombardi Trophy, while the Saints' Drew Brees looks for his first.

Neither quarterback will have to deal with the elements in this one as the conditions should be perfect for football.
