FSU vs Boston College Weather Report: Hurricane Lee's Impact

JordanTravisCFB

Hurricane Lee is making its way into New England this weekend, and the widespread rain and winds will have significant impacts in the sporting world. The most notable game that will be disrupted by Lee is the Florida State vs. Boston College game on Saturday.

Here’s my forecast for the game, keeping in mind that minor track changes at this point can have huge implications on the conditions of the game:

FSU at BC Alumni Stadium — Chestnut Hill, MA
Time 12 PM EST
Date Saturday, September 16, 2023
Temperature 68 F
Precipitation 50%
Wind 15-20 mph, wind gusts up 30-35 mph

Weather Report for FSU at Boston College

Wind: Sustained winds between 15-20mph, with wind gusts 30+mph.

Rain: Showers possible, not expecting anything heavy.

Impacts: The latest forecast track has shifted Lee a bit farther east, which puts the Boston area more in the fringe impacts than earlier model runs were showing. This is still enough wind to impact deeper throws and long field goals, but it likely won’t be to the level that many were expecting (or that models were showing 24-48 hours ago). For sports betting purposes, the under is already being bet heavily, and I think a lot of the value has already been accounted for.

The total opened at 54.5, but Hurricane Lee’s impact has moved this down to as low as 46 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
