Does weather affect Washington vs Nebraska at Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, NE)?

The latest reading for Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, NE) shows Light rain, 63°F with winds of 8 mph. Gusts reaching 20 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. There is a 59% 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. Weather data is sourced from WeatherAPI.com.
