Does weather affect UCF vs Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium?

The latest reading for Acrisure Stadium shows Mist, 68°F with winds of 4 mph. Weather is not expected to be a meaningful factor in this game. 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.
