Candlestick Park is located just off San Francisco Bay in California, making it a windy site for football games. In this Dec. 30, 2012, file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (7) celebrates with wide receiver Michael Crabtree (15) after they connected on a 49-yard touchdown pass against the Arizona Cardinals during the second quarter of an NFL football game in San Francisco.

The fun part about week two of the NFL playoffs is that every host site of wildcard weekend is gone. Completely new host sites during the second week.

As such, we have four new weather forecast locations this week. We may return to some next week, we may not, depending on the results of these games.

All forecasts are from the National Weather Service (and times are Oklahoma/Central, but will note if the host time impacts the weather)

3:30 p.m. Saturday: Baltimore Ravens vs. Denver Broncos in Denver, Colo.

Denver has a 20 percent chance of snow during the day and at night Saturday.

In addition, highs during the day will be in the upper teens, with overnight lows in the single digits. Brrrr.

Fairly calm winds, however: NE around 6 mph during the day, 5 mph into the night.

7 p.m. Saturday: Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco, Ca.

Mostly sunny skies are forecast for San Francisco's Saturday, with highs in the upper 40s, similar to Tulsa's forecast. Overnight lows are also forecast for the 40s, so don't expect things to get too much colder as the game progresses.

Expect winds to be a bit higher near the Bay, but San Francisco itself has fairly calm winds forecast for Saturday: northeast 5-7 mph during the day, 5-8 mph overnight.

Noon Sunday: Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta, Ga.

Something tells me that the weather will not be a factor in a game hosted in the Georgia Dome, but for consistency, here's what Atlanta's Sunday forecast is:

That's the graphic on NWS Atlanta's homepage currently.

Atlanta is indeed going to be warm, dome or not. After a morning in the mid-50s, Sunday will reach the mid-70s by Sunday afternoon.

There is also a 20 percent chance of showers, with 5-10 mph southeast winds.

3:30 p.m. Sunday: Houston Texans vs. New England Patriots at Foxborough, Mass.

This area has patchy fog forecast Sunday, but it is forecast to clear up by noon.

Highs in the mid-50s and calm 5-7 mph winds are forecast for Foxborough's Sunday, with an overnight low in the mid-40s.

Overnight from Sunday to Monday, they have a 30 percent chance of showers. However, that's not expected until after 3 a.m. Monday. So, probably not going to happen during the game.

Have a good football weekend!
