WASHINGTON – We are lucking out with this NFL forecast for week 6.

Thanks to scheduling and locations of this Sunday’s home games, we are dodging some weather bullets. There will be one or two games that could be impacted by the weather but other than that, none of the games really face pressing weather.

1:00 p.m. EST

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans: LP Field: There is the only game where weather could be a major factor. A stalled front will bring areas of rain, including storms, to the Nashville area. Temperatures will be in the mid 70s and I do believe there will be a little bit of sun but that will only fuel instability for some afternoon storms. I give it about a 40 to 50 percent chance of seeing some rain during the game. Temperatures will be in the mid 70s and it will be just a little on the humid side throughout the duration of the game.

Baltimore Ravens at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Raymond – James Stadium: Looking at some pretty nice conditions in Tampa with plenty of sunshine and a light wind out of the east. Temperatures in the first quarter will hover in the mid 80s, rising to near 90 by the fourth. It will be a little on the humid side with the heat index or what it feels like outside in the lower 90s.

Denver Broncos v New York Jets: MetLife Stadium: A little on the cool side but a nice fall day in Jersey with temperatures around 60 at the start and increasing to the mid 60s by the end of the game. Winds will be light wind high pressure in charge giving way to lots of sunshine.

Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings: TCF Bank Stadium: A great day at the University of Minnesota! Not too bad with temperatures in the upper 50s through the game. A mix of sun and clouds during the game and a little on the breezy side with southerly winds of 10 to 20 mph throughout the game. Other than that, there will be a disturbance spinning through late in the afternoon that could give way to some rain showers after 4 p.m. but the game should remain dry!

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills: Ralph Wilson Stadium: All sunshine as high pressure is in charge. Looking at a very light southeasterly wind with temperatures rising through the 50s during the game.

Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals: Paul Brown Stadium: With only a slight chance of rain after the 2nd quarter, the weather for this game is another winner. Temperatures in the low 60s with southeast wind at 5 to 10 mph. Skies will have more clouds than sunshine.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns: First Energy Stadium: Starting off the game partly cloudy, the clouds will decrease bringing mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will be in the mid 50s with winds out of the north at 5-10 mph.

Green Bay Packers at Miami Dolphins: SunLife Stadium: Not looking at a rain threat in Miami–for once! However, there will be some winds around. Temperatures will be steady around 85 degrees with a heat index of 92. Winds will be slightly breezy out of the northeast at 15 mph with possible gusts up to 20 mph. Other than that, partly cloudy skies will be on tap throughout the game.

4:05 p.m. EST

San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum: Plenty of sunshine for this game with almost perfect conditions: temperatures in the mid 70s for most of the game with a WSW wind at 5 to 10 mph

4:25 p.m. EST

Washington Redskins face the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Arizona and as usual, it is going to be a warm one. Temperatures will be around 90 with full sunshine on Sunday for the afternoon game. Although the Cardinals play in a domed stadium, it will be hot leading up to the game. Not expecting any major weather problems.

Dallas Cowboys at Seattle Seahawks: CenturyLink Field: Although there will be plenty of clouds around for this game, it will remain dry. Temperatures will rise from the lower 60s to the mid 60s during the game. Winds will be fairly light, out of the southwest at 5 mph.

8:30 p.m. EST

New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles: Lincoln Financial Field: Partly clouds will be on tap for this great NFC East Match up on Sunday Night Football. Temperatures will be steady in the upper to mid 50s. Winds will be light with a sunset time of 6:28 p.m.

Nothing changes yet with the Supreme Court’s order on elections. But it could open door to ‘chaos’

The Supreme Court's decision giving preliminary approval for President Donald Trump's order restricting mail voting may not lead to a single election procedure changing during the November midterms, but it has already thrown into uncertainty the method that nearly one-third of the country uses to vote. Rather than saying that Trump's order is legal, the high court said Monday it was too early for Democratic-run states to challenge it in June, when they convinced a federal judge in Boston to freeze the order for November's election. That effectively restarts the legal fight over the order in an incredibly compressed timeline, with initial ballots scheduled to be sent to North Carolina's overseas and military voters in just over a week, on Sept. 4. A second injunction barring the U.S. Postal Service from making changes to comply with Trump's directive remains in effect. Still, the administration late Monday filed a motion asking that the second hold be removed, and has posted new regulations from the Postal Service that would go into effect Tuesday if the legal pathway is fully cleared. That new rule requires specific formatting for envelopes containing mail ballots 鈥� which may force some jurisdictions to completely revise theirs 鈥� and makes states use an electronic system to identify to the Postal Service who is voting by mail. If states don't comply with the rule, their mail ballots won't get sent. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani on Tuesday found that the administration violated her injunction against work on the Trump directive by formulating the rule, but declined to sanction it as she considered whether to lift her freeze entirely.
