The Miami Dolphins are one day away from game day — marking the quarter mark of the 2020 NFL season. With the Seattle Seahawks coming to town, Miami is going to be posed with a great challenge: containing the Seattle aerial assault. Russell Wilson is playing unbelievable football right now and his wide receivers (D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett) will pose significant issues for the Dolphins. Miami could use any help they can get — including any they can get courtesy of Mother Nature. Seattle, playing in the Pacific Northwest, will already be at a deficit playing in the South Florida humidity. But the chance of rain could take the air out of the ball for Seattle on Sunday afternoon.
Here is the current forecast for Miami’s Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.
Location: Hard Rock Stadium — Miami Gardens, FL
- Temperature at kickoff: 88 degrees
- Feels like: 99 degrees
- Percent rain: 15%
- Humidity: 66%
- Wind: 15 mph
Thunderstorms can spring up at any time in Florida — but it seems as though the Dolphins and Seahawks will avoid any significant storms for the duration of their playing window between 1 PM and 4 PM EST. That puts the pressure back on the Dolphins’ secondary to show up in a big way and for the entire team to keep their composure and keep the game close early on. With a few lucky bounces, Miami’s conditioning in the humidity can allow them to force the few key plays in this game to break their way in their effort to steal a win in Week 4 against a heavily favored Seahawks team.
