Latest information on conditions for the 49ers game

Orchard Park residents were out in droves with snowblowers and shovels this morning, while roads were wet or muddy rather than buried in snow due to the constant presence of snowplows.

The main roads to Orchard Park were passable early Sunday morning, about 12 hours before the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers meet at chilly Highmark Stadium.

The State Weather Risk Communication Center’s spot forecast expects additional snowfall of about 3 to 8 inches to fall Sunday before game kickoff at 8:20 p.m. A 7 a.m. report stated that 18.5 inches of snow had already fallen in Orchard Park. Sunday’s totals will depend on whether the lake effect band that dumps snow on the stadium in the morning stays in place or drifts further south.

The SWRCC forecast is that lake effect snow will be less likely after 1 p.m., although gusty winds will continue throughout the game.

The National Weather Service forecast for Orchard Park calls for below-freezing temperatures in the mid-20s and a 77% chance of precipitation by kickoff at 8:20 p.m., although the percentage will drop as the game progresses. The wind is blowing from the west at a speed of 11 miles per hour. Snow will occasionally fall, falling at around 1 inch per hour during the 8 p.m. hour, although the chance of precipitation is decreasing.

The AccuWeather forecast calls for evening temperatures to hover around 30 degrees, with flurries occurring but little accumulation and the likelihood decreasing later. The forecast calls for gusts of up to 29 miles per hour, which would have a greater impact on the game than the predicted rainfall during the game.

How the weather between 49ers and Bills affects odds and bets

The Bills have a 6.5 advantage over the 49ers, who are coming off a huge loss to the Green Bay Packers in which they were without quarterback Brock Purdy. The over/under is 44.5 points.

An analysis by The Athletic found that transient production fell 14.5% in temperatures below 35 degrees and precipitation, compared to weather above 35 degrees and clear weather. According to betting site Covers.com, light snowfall has a negligible impact on transit production, but heavy snowfall can result in a 25% drop.

Buffalo leads the all-time series against San Francisco 7-6, although the teams haven’t met since 2020, a 34-24 win for the Bills. Quarterback Josh Allen threw for 375 yards and four touchdowns in the last meeting.
The Bills and 49ers play at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Sunday, December 1st at 8:20 p.m. The game will be broadcast on local NBC affiliates including WHEC Channel 10 in Rochester. The game will be hosted by Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth with sideline reporter Melissa Stark.
