A large storm blew through Florida on Saturday night into Sunday morning, but it isn’t expected to make for a wet evening at EverBank Stadium when the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Baltimore Ravens.
The rain is forecasted to clear in Duval by the early afternoon, well before the Week 15 game kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET.
What isn’t expected to go away is the gusty winds that have come with the storm. While a wind advisory is in place until 7 p.m. ET in Jacksonville, it won’t be gone entirely by kickoff.
Surface low will track from central FL thru NE FL then push off the coast. An area of strong winds on the back side of this low will move across the SE GA and NE FL.
Peak wind gusts of 35 to 50 mph are possible between 1030 am and 3 pm. A wind advisory is in effect thru 7 pm. pic.twitter.com/8uiQXhJxtJ— NWS Jacksonville (@NWSJacksonville) December 17, 2023
The Weather Channel is forecasting it to be 57 degrees at kickoff with 16 miles per hour winds. Accuweather is predicting the same with wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour.
Whether that’s enough to affect the game itself remains to be seen. No team in the NFL has more rushing yards than the Ravens and the weather gives even less reason to believe they’ll deviate from that plan in Jacksonville.
