What about Super Bowls in the past? Was there ever any notable weather during the big game? You bet there was. Here are some fun facts (courtesy wx-man.com):
You will notice there isn't really any mention of severe weather in those statistics.The NFL has been pretty fortunate on that front with nothing particularly notable rain always seems to be the biggest threat.
But here is an interesting tidbit to contemplate historically February is the deadliest tornado month in Florida by far. The graphic at the right shows you a month by month breakdown of deadly twisters in the state. Granted February 1st, the day the game is played this year,burberry factory outlet, is at the beginning of the month and the chances are pretty miniscule of a tornado hitting a stadium on any given day but it is interesting to note.
As forTampa and Hillsborough County specifically, according to the Tornado History Project no tornadoes have been recorded in the area on February 1st but there have been seven twisters in the month of February in the area from 1950 to 2007 (see image at right). Further, two of those occurred on February 2nd, the day after this years game one in 1981 and one in 1983.
The biggest sporting event of the year is of course the Super Bowl and no doubt this years matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals is sure to be no different. Super Bowl XLIII will be held in Tampa Bay,true religion jeans, Florida and the weather forecast is looking to be just about perfect see our game day forecast below.
The forecast for this year looks to be pretty calm.I dont expect a tornado is going to send mass panic throughout the stadium. The weather in fact looks just about perfect for football as we are forecasting 58 degrees at kickoff under partly cloudy skies. By the time the game ends the temperature will have dropped just slightly to 56 degrees. There is a very slight chance for showers during the game, maybe 10%.
