The latest reading for Kidd Brewer Stadium shows Light rain shower, 63°F with winds of 6 mph. There is a 72% chance of rain, though little accumulation is expected. Blue Chip has not been able to measure a reliable line effect from rain, so treat this as context rather than signal. 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.
