The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams could be set for a snowy divisional round matchup this weekend.

Parts of the Philadelphia area are forecast to get between three and six inches of snow Sunday, according to AccuWeather.

Here’s the game day forecast for the area as of Friday afternoon, per Brittany Boyer of Action News.

Cloudy and colder with snow developing before lunchtime, high 34.

Snow will develop southwest to northeast. This is a mostly all snow event for our area with some initial mixing possible near the coast.

Expect several hours of steady snow with 1″/hour rates possible. For those traveling to the game you’ll want to dress warmly as snow is likely for the entirety of the game.

Snow wraps up between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The Rams and Eagles are set to kick off Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.

Both teams have said they are ready to play in the snow for a shot at the NFC Championship Game.

“We will handle the elements, regardless of what they are this weekend,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday, per Dave Spadaro of the team website. “You have different things you do in all of these (weather) situations, just like you do if a guy goes down, just like you do if they play a different style than you were anticipating, you have contingency plans for everything.”

Rams head coach Sean McVay meanwhile said Thursday his team was “aware” of the changing forecast, per NBC Sports’ Mike Florio.

“I think the biggest thing is just being mindful of, if the surface is affected, that our cleats aren’t an issue. That’s a big part of it,” McVay said, per Florio. “[Senior director of equipment] Brendan Burger does a great job with that. Matthew has had experience handling that ball.

“I know this, if it does snow or if it does rain, we have to be mindful of what we need to do to adjust and adapt, but there’s no way it can be as cold as it was at the Jets game.”

The Rams claimed a 19-9 win in sub-freezing temperatures when they played the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Dec. 22.

The Eagles have meanwhile already been getting practice playing in snow while practicing outdoors in Philadelphia during the week leading up to the divisional round contest.

The Rams and Eagles won’t be the only teams playing for a conference championship game spot in extreme weather. The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are projected to play Sunday in temperatures that will feel as low as zero degrees with windchill, per AccuWeather and NFL.com’s Nick Shook.
