The forecast is from the National Weather Service (NWS), the official US government agency responsible for monitoring the weather in the North American territory and issuing warnings in extreme cases.
The forecast rules out the risk of heavy rain, as happened this Friday (12) at the same time as the game – 6pm local time, 7pm Brasília time. The storm triggered MetLife Stadium's emergency system and warnings for people to evacuate outside.
Last year, during the Club World Cup, held in the United States and also organized by FIFA, six matches were interrupted due to storm and lightning warnings.
One of them was temporarily stopped for 17 minutes: the game between Palmeiras and Al Ahly (Egypt), at the same MetLife Stadium on June 19th. The game was won by the Brazilian team and ended 2-0. In the 1994 World Cup, the first in the USA, no weather events interrupted the matches played.
