Sunday's game between the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons might be a matchup of two high-flying squads early in the 2016 NFL season, but this Battle of the Birds might be grounded due to the weather.
The remnants of a Pacific typhoon will hit Western Washington on Saturday, bringing with it heavy rain and wind gusts of up to 65 mph, according to the National Weather Service. That comes on the heels of a low-pressure system that brought rain and wind to the region on Thursday and Friday.
Sunday's forecast is better, with lighter rain and less severe wind, but it's unlikely the playing conditions at CenturyLink Field will be optimal for the passing game.
