How Hurricane Isaias could affect Sunday's Houston Texans-Tennessee Titans game in Nashville
The remnants of Hurricane Isaias currently are projected to blow through the Nashville area Sunday morning, hours before the Houston Texans play the Tennessee Titans.
The Houston Texans face a potential weather-related challenge for their upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Nashville. The matchup will occur under the closed roof of Nissan Stadium, but Hurricane Isaias could bring adverse conditions to the city. The first Atlantic hurricane of the season is expected to make landfall near the Alabama-Florida border on Friday night, with its trajectory potentially affecting Nashville early Sunday morning.
Although the storm's intensity is anticipated to diminish by then, making it just a depression, Nashville can still expect between 1-3 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 40 mph. The heaviest rainfall is projected for Saturday night, but Sunday's forecast calls for a rainy day with temperatures in the lower 70s and rain chances diminishing later in the evening.
Playing in Houston, the Texans are accustomed to dealing with rain during games, as they have never played under a closed roof before this season.
