Hurricane Isaias, which has already impacted millions in the Southeast and Northeast, is forecast to continue bringing high winds and heavy rain through the weekend. The storm, now classified as a tropical storm, is projected to affect the upcoming Week 5 NFL game between the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders.
The game, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, is expected to be played under steady rain with mild winds. While no official warnings are in place, the weather is anticipated to be a factor. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s, but wind chill could make it feel like the low-60s.
AccuWeather forecasts a 49% chance of rain at kickoff, escalating to 89% from approximately 2:00 p.m. ET onwards. Winds are expected to range between 8-10 MPH, with gusts up to 13 MPH. These conditions have influenced betting odds, causing the point total line to decrease from an opening of 45.5 to 41.5.
