Another factor to consider is the 20-30% chance of thunderstorms during the game.

Storms will be widely scattered, but any sudden downpours could make the field and the ball slippery, slowing down the pace of the game and increasing the likelihood of turnovers.

Strong winds also have a major impact on field goal accuracy, especially from long range (40+ yards).

Winds can push a field goal by as much as 2-4 yards. A field goal post is only 6.2 yards wide, meaning a kick aimed perfectly down the middle could miss wide right or left.

Winds between 6-10 mph decrease completion percentage by just 1%, while increasing the interception rate by 1%.

Strong winds disrupt the passing game, potentially giving an advantage to the defense and favoring teams with a strong rushing attack or solid run defense.

High-resolution models show gusty winds moving through Kansas City tonight, potentially peaking at 25-30 mph in the 3rd/4th quarter.

Data shows that winds of 20+ mph decrease quarterback completion percentage by 10% on average, while the interception rate increases by 8%.

Rain and strong winds could have a huge impact on the @Chiefs vs. @Ravens game tonight.

Here’s what it means for betting 🧵

Super Typhoon #Yagi continues to charge at China.

It's expected to make landfall somewhere near the Qiangzhou Strait around sunrise Friday.

Haikou, the capital city of Hainan Province, could see winds. gusting 115 mph or greater if the city experiences the left eyewall.

A waterspout outbreak is possible Friday night through Sunday on the Great Lakes.

A pocket of high altitude cold air, low pressure and spin will work overhead.

Lake waters, meanwhile, will be comparatively warm, providing the necessary lift to stretch up some waterspouts.

One of the wildest things I've seen in covering hurricanes was when Category 4 Ian sucked the water out of Charlotte Harbor, Florida.

At the same time as this "antisurge," Fort Myers Beach was under 13.8 feet of water from deadly positive surge.

@MyRadarWX is in every storm.

Weathering the Odds: How Weather Data and Modeling Enhances Sports Betting

Did you know heavy snow can decrease scoring in NFL games by an average of 10 points? 👀

Excited to announce we are working on a project exploring how weather data and modeling are transforming the $100+ billion sports betting industry, especially for @NFL and @NCAA football.

The Great Lakes is on waterspout watch this weekend! 🌪️

A waterspout outbreak is possible on the Great Lakes this weekend as a pocket of high altitude frigid air, low pressure and spin moves overhead.

Lake-effect showers will propagate along Lakes Erie and Ontario, with vorticity, or spin, to spawn spouts over the warmer waters.

The Atlantic has had no named storm formations since #Ernesto on August 12. The last time that the Atlantic had no named storm formations between August 13 - September 3 was in 1968. The remarkably quiet period for Atlantic #hurricane activity continues.

Phoenix, Arizona, just experienced one of the hottest summers ever recorded by any major city on Earth.

The average temperature for the entire summer was 99°F (37.2°C).

There is an increasing chance of a named storm forming as this tropical wave meanders closer to the Lesser Antilles by early next week.

The next name on the list is Francine.

National Hurricane Center
