Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers weather report: Latest on Raymond James Stadium conditions for Week 17 showdown

It was expected that the Carolina Panthers would lose easily to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. That was not the case, however, as Carolina gave the Bucs a run for their money and only lost in overtime by a field goal.

The Panthers will get the chance to get their revenge against their NFC South rival this afternoon at Raymond James Stadium.

Let's review the weather forecast for the game before kickoff for those who are attending the game.

Weather forecast for Panthers vs. Bucs on Sunday

The National Weather Service forecasts that the temperature at the kickoff of the Panthers vs. Buccaneers game at Raymond James Stadium will be in the mid-70s.

In addition, there is a 70% chance of rain during kickoff, but as the game goes on, the likelihood of rain drops. The weather forecast also calls for a 10 mph southerly wind at 1:00 p.m. ET.

In general, the weather in Tampa Bay is good when you take into account every aspect of the forecast. Although there will likely be much rain in the vicinity today, it must have subsided when the game begins, and the wind shouldn't have any effect on any player's performance.

How to watch the Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17?

The Buccaneers have beaten the Panthers eight times in their last nine encounters, including the previous three with Baker Mayfield starting as quarterback. If the Bucs intend to maintain their postseason aspirations, they will need to display that kind of dominance when they play their NFC South rivals at Raymond James Stadium today.

In addition, the Bucs must defeat the Panthers and New Orleans Saints in both of their remaining games and hope the Atlanta Falcons lose a minimum of one game in the final two weeks of the regular season in order to win the division for the fourth time in a row. Considering this, this is a must-win game for Tampa Bay against a Carolina side that will be without young running backs Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks.

The Week 17 game will begin at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, with play-by-play commentator Ian Eagle, analyst Charles Davis, and sideline reporter Evan Washburn on call.
