The 49ers may have to deal with less-than-ideal NFL weather when they host the Seahawks in Week 11.
If a casual fan is thinking about a San Francisco 49ers game against the Seattle Seahawks that will have rain in the NFL forecast, the likely conclusion would be it's at Lumen Field in the Pacific Northwest.
Not Levi's Stadium.
But the Niners have already visited Lumen Field this season, defeating the Hawks on Thursday Night Football back in Week 6.
It appears the typically rainy conditions that hit Seattle's home venue have opted to travel south to the Bay Area in order to plague San Francisco in Week 11.
NFL weather calls for rain in 49ers game vs. Seahawks
The 49ers have played in some less-ideal conditions already this season, including a heat-stroked Week 5 bout against the Arizona Cardinals that saw the hottest temperatures ever at Levi's Stadium during a game.
Now, for the first time in 2024, it appears as if rain will impact another NFC West bout.
The NFL weather forecast for Sunday calls for a 48-percent chance of showers, cloudy skies, and a kickoff temperature of 60 degrees. Fortunately, winds will be negligible: southwesterly at three miles per hour.
Hopefully, kicker Jake Moody won't be impacted by any wind gusts during his field-goal tries.

Unfortunately, the damp conditions open the door to the possibility of sloppy play, turnovers and injuries. With a number of players already banged up for San Francisco, avoiding any further injury complications will be vital.
As far as the Niners are concerned, they'll look to get another crucial divisional win and improve to 6-4, and they'll have to ensure the Seahawks stay in the NFC West basement when the two teams kick off on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 4:05 p.m. ET.
Whether or not the weather is a key factor.
