Time Update - Match Cowboys Vs. Commanders — Week 7 Game Information
Arlington, Texas – Gamne week 7 approaching, but weather is the big concern for Dallas Cowboys. Atlantic hurricane season has more than one month left to end, and AccuWeather forecasters are warning that a tropical wave from Africa could develop, causing heavy rain in Texas and affecting Week 7 vs. Washington Commanders at AT&T Stadium on 19/10/2025, even leading to change in game time.
Expert Alex DaSilva of AccuWeather updated on AccuWeather Network on 15/10 about 2025 hurricane season, focusing on tropical wave from Africa – system that could strengthen and indirectly affect Texas weather, where Cowboys prepare for important NFC East game.
Weather Warning For AT&T Stadium
Meteorologists are monitoring potential threat for Caribbean, Central America, and possibly southeast US (including Texas), but risk for AT&T Stadium – where Cowboys play home – remains low but cannot be excluded if system turns north into Gulf Coast.
Tropical Storm Lorenzo has completely dissipated. Satellite image 16/10 shows lack of strong systems; tropical wave in bottom left corner has weakened due to dry air and shear (RealVue™ Satellite enhanced by AccuWeather).
"This is end-of-season tropical wave, but not well organized after leaving Africa coast," DaSilva said. "If develops, it could cause heavy rain in Texas – affecting Cowboys vs. Commanders game, could lead to delay or reschedule if field wet."
Risk Of Heavy Rain And Schedule Change
Tropical wave moving west, could reach Leeward Islands this weekend, but shear and dry Sahara hinder (1/3-1/5 develop into named storm). If strengthens, heavy rain (2-4 inch) could spread to Texas, affecting AT&T Stadium (roof cover, but wet field could cause slips).
DaSilva: "End-of-season storms could from many sources, but Caribbean is focus – risk of heavy rain in Texas low, but Cowboys need to monitor if system enters Gulf."
Bernie Rayno: "If overcomes barriers, strengthens Caribbean next week, but models exclude direct Texas – only indirect rain (NHC: 10-20% chance)."
Worst Case Scenario For The Game
-
Scenario 1: Dissipates (70%), no impact.
Scenario 2: Central America or Florida (10%).
Worst case (5% chance): Caribbean storm → Gulf → Texas (like Harvey 2017), heavy rain causing game delay per NFL policy.
Wave still far from Caribbean, expected weak when crossing east islands. Update 16/10: NHC: No formation in 7 days; 10% chance.
DaSilva: "If overcomes dry/shear/equator, strengthens quickly in warm Caribbean water – risk heavy rain Texas (2-4 inch), could delay Cowboys game if field wet."
2025 Hurricane Season Situation
Next names: Melissa, Nestor. Northwest Atlantic system: 30% subtropical.
Season ends 30/11; end October-November, development near Central America/southeast US.
As of 17/10: 12 named storms, 4 hurricanes (3 major). Unnamed wind/rain storm affected East Coast 10-14/10.
DaSilva: "2-3 more tropical storms, 1-2 major possible."
