Does weather affect Massachusetts vs Buffalo at UB Stadium?

The latest reading for UB Stadium shows Mist, 66°F with winds of 5 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.
