Hurricane Isaias, Tropical Storm Rachel slam both sides of U.S.

Millions of people across the Southeast and Northeast are grappling with Hurricane Isaias' impact, which has brought high winds, heavy rain, and tornadoes. The New York Giants are set to face the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium on Sunday, and the weather will undoubtedly play a part in the game. Steady rain and mild winds are anticipated to persist throughout Sunday as Isaias, now a tropical storm, traverses the area.

Although there are no warnings in effect, the storm will affect the Week 5 matchup. Temperatures are forecasted to hover in the mid-60s, but the wind chill will drop into the low-60s. There is a 49 percent probability of rain at kickoff, which is expected to rise to 89 percent between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. ET. Winds are projected to range between 8-10 MPH, with occasional gusts up to 13 MPH, moving from the east-southeast direction.

The game is scheduled to tip off at 1:00 p.m. ET. FOX will broadcast the match, with NFL+ and Fubo offering streaming options. The point spread has been influenced by the weather, with the Giants initially being 3.5-point underdogs. The point total line has been adjusted downward from 45.5 to 41.5, as the weather is expected to slow down both teams' offenses.
