How to use it
Use the forecast as a reason to check the game again closer to kickoff, not as proof that one team has an edge. Keep team strength and survivor value at the center of the pick, then use updated weather as supporting context.
How this was built
Forecasts come from the most recent snapshot stored for each game, and only from snapshots taken inside the provider's real five-day window. Indoor and closed-roof venues are excluded entirely. A game appears only when it reaches sustained wind of 15 mph or gusts of 25 mph, a precipitation chance of 50% or more, or a temperature of 20°F or colder or 95°F or hotter.
