Adjust the factors in the tool above to test your own numbers.

Does weather affect UCF vs Kansas at Memorial Stadium?

The latest reading for Memorial Stadium shows Partly Cloudy, 72°F with winds of 13 mph. Gusts reaching 26 mph add variance to the kicking and passing game. Games with gusts at or above 30 mph have seen the total move down by about 1.4 points. It was taken before the ~10-day forecast window opened, so it describes the furthest hour the forecast reached rather than kickoff itself, and it is replaced once the game comes inside the window. Weather data is sourced from WeatherAPI.com.
