Big Turk Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Warriorspikes51 said: How often do forecasted Storms actually hit us? Ah yes....only for Bills games!!! 😡 Hard to say because nobody knows where the T-Storms will be popping up. One area can get an inch of rain and a few miles away could get nothing. Talking 60-70% chance of rain tho, which is relatively high....however, the timing will be better known once we get into late Saturday and Sunday...ideally the storms start earlier on Sunday night and move out by game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be scattered so I would be shocked if it rained they entire day/game. What are the chances that it either completely passes us the whole day or on the other hand turns into a torrential downpour all day?

We wouldn't know that until gameday unfortunately. When we can check upstream radars 4-6 hours before we will have a much better idea on trajectory of the bands.

Warriorspikes51 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) MSN forecast shows rain and T-storms from 1AM - 1PM Monday with only 25% chance of rain during afternoon-evening for game *Check - that was for Buffalo.

Awwufelloff Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 As the surface low and trough continues east and crosses into Quebec, the trailing cold front will cross the forecast area, increasing the potential for showers for the entire area on Monday into Tuesday morning. Showers will taper off from northwest to southeast through the morning on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the camping section they have ponchos that fold up smaller than a deck of cards. I bought every blue or red poncho they had, making me quite popular at the tailgate. They were only about $1.50 each and if you don’t need it, no big deal. If you do need it? Big deal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I don't care what anyone says,....with as much weather as the Bills dealt with the last season or two, it should work to our advantage this season. It's not the great equalizer, especially when you have a top defense and an offense with playmakers all over the place. The Bills players have experienced the wind, the rain, the snow, the freezing cold...they know what to expect, they know what gear and shoes to wear, they don't have to deal with raucous crowd noise on offense, etc.. I think whenever we have a bad weather game this season, it's advantage Buffalo. The only "great equalizer" will be the same thing as any other game... Turnovers. Hang on to the ball.

You NEVER want bad weather when you are a heavy favorite which is exactly what the Bills are. What the Bills experienced last year is borderline irrelevant, history.

BigAl2526 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 At this point, I'm seeing thunderstorms during the day, and scattered thunderstorms in the evening. I would guess, the storms will be winding down by the time the game happens, so hopefully there won't be any lightening delays. I could imagine the turf being wet though.

I believe the turf dries pretty well and quickly. I think they'll have the fans out to dry it as well. I went to the Falcons game last year and they had tons of fans blowing on the field.

Exactly! Actually, it’s not. Convincing people who have never studied meteorology and/or have professional forecast experience that they aren’t meteorologist’s is impossible. The weather for Orchard Park this time of year is not that dynamic and the models generally do well even 3-4 days out. You’re mostly timing frontal or trough passage which isn’t that hard to do compared to forecasting the band placement of lake effect snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The randomness of convective activity is largely over in Western New York in late Sep. Forecasts are largely front related, which is a much easier prediction.

Yes but they can’t predict exactly where and when scattered showers will form. They can get the when pretty close but it can still be off hours this far out. Rain is likely in WNY Monday but the storms are scattered. Edited September 15, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
