Weather delay?! Thunderstorms forecast for Super Bowl Sunday

One of the dangers of holding any outdoor sporting event in the state of Florida is the potential for thunderstorms. There’s not another state in the country that experiences more lightning strikes per year, but usually this does not interrupt events like the Super Bowl.

Well... that’s likely to change this weekend when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa.

According to @accuweather, thunderstorms are in the forecast for Super Bowl Sunday. The early prediction: 71 degrees with a 75% chance of rain ‍u2642ufe0fu2614ufe0f

The last (and only) rainy Super Bowl occurred in 2007 for Super Bowl XLI between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears in Miami.
