In Chicago, the Las Vegas Raiders are set to square off against the Chicago Bears in a highly anticipated Week 7 showdown, and one of the key factors in the game is the weather forecast.

With a peak temperature of 56 degrees forecast during the day, it promises to be a cool but bearable day at Soldier Field for both players and fans. It’s a crisp autumn afternoon with a temperature of 52 degrees according to AccuWeather RealFeel.

When it comes to precipitation, the forecast seems fairly promising. There is just a 10% probability of rain during the day, and even better, there is no danger of thunderstorms. The predicted daily rain accumulation is essentially zero inches, providing a dry and rain-free game.

However, it is not all smooth sailing. Wind conditions may have an impact on the game. Winds will be blowing from the north at 12 mph during the day, with gusts reaching 20 mph. This indicates that gusty winds may have an impact on passing and kicking.

Leading up to this game, both clubs are struggling with quarterback uncertainty. The Bears’ Justin Fields just dislocated his thumb, and there is no definite timetable for his comeback. The fate of the Raiders’ quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, is also unknown after sustaining an injury in the previous game.

The Raiders’ last encounter with the Bears in 2021 still in their minds as they go to Soldier Field. The Raiders were defeated 20-9 in the game, which was also Jon Gruden’s final game as head coach in Las Vegas.

While the weather appears to be mostly cooperative, with a cool but dry game day, the gusting winds may provide an element of surprise. Regardless of the weather, both teams are determined to win in Week 7 as they negotiate quarterback uncertainty and the challenges of the mid-season campaign.
