BUFFALO, N.Y. — This season the Buffalo Bills have played in extreme heat, gusty winds, lake effect snow and bitter cold. And while the forecast Monday night in Cincinnati is mild by comparison, there is the chance for rain throughout the game. 

Temperatures Monday afternoon in Cincinnati will reach the low 60s. But this is with a weather system that will bring rain along with these above average wintertime temperatures. Scattered showers will lift into Ohio on Monday night with even heavier showers expected overnight into Tuesday morning. 

This means, unfortunately, rain is in the forecast for the Bills on Monday Night Football. At kickoff Monday for the prime-time game, temperatures will be in the upper 50s under a mostly cloudy sky with a light breeze out of the south. Light, scattered rain showers will likely move in throughout the first half with the chance for a few heavier showers during the fourth quarter. So any members of Bills Mafia heading to Cincinnati will want to bring the rain gear with them. 

As for travel to the game, there should not be any major weather impacts for travel Sunday or Monday locally of farther south. And with rain moving into the Ohio River Valley Monday night and into Tuesday, it will be a rainy drive back because showers will also move into Buffalo on Tuesday.

Rain shouldn't be too much of an impact for flights, but there could be some minor delays due to weather.
