The Jacksonville Jaguars’ season opener against the Washington Commanders looked like it had the potential to be a rainy day, but that never came to fruition at FedEx Field.
Now, the Jaguars’ home opener against the Indianapolis Colts also has a chance at being a wet one.
Thunderstorms are in the weather forecast for Jacksonville, Fla. later Sunday, and scattered storms could arrive in the early afternoon before the Week 2 game is over.
Coastal showers and storms will develop inland today bringing scattered to isolated embedded thunderstorms, with higher chances for storms extending inland in the afternoon and evening hours. Localized heavy rainfall is possible with showers/ storms today.#jaxwx#flwx#gaxw pic.twitter.com/EMigbeLfja

Accuweather says there’s 40-60 percent chance of rain between 1 and 4 p.m. ET, while The Weather Channel puts the chances around 25-55 percent.
TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville uses grass, so any light showers shouldn’t have too much of an effect on the game.
