Hurricane Isaias NFL Week 5 weather impacts across the country

Hurricane Isaias, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, made landfall on Friday night as a major Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds, affecting several NFL Week 5 games from Nashville to the Meadowlands on Sunday.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain to the northern Gulf Coast, with Pensacola and Destin, Fla., in its direct path from 9 p.m. to midnight ET. After weakening to a tropical storm over Alabama, Isaias' remnants are forecast to drench Nashville on Sunday before tapering off.

Several NFL Week 5 games are expected to be impacted by Isaias and its remnants. The Cleveland Browns vs. New York Jets game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., carries a 99% chance of rain, with gusts up to 20 mph. Cleveland previously faced a lengthy weather delay in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Indianapolis Colts in sunny conditions on Saturday, but the remnants of Isaias are expected to bring all-day rain to Pittsburgh on Sunday with a 70% chance of precipitation and gusts up to 26 mph. Showers and storms are forecast to continue into the evening.

The New York Giants host the Washington Commanders at Landover, Md., with a 90% chance of rain, including gusts up to 30 mph in the early part of the game. Washington, D.C., will see light to moderate rain early in the day, with waves of showers throughout the day.

In Atlanta, the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons are set to play on Sunday Night Football with gusts up to 40 mph, but rain and wind are expected to clear by Sunday night. The Jacksonville Jaguars play the Philadelphia Eagles in London, while the Carolina Panthers have a bye week.
