How much does a 20 mph wind affect at 100 yrds?

I am shooting a 270 rem/150 grn. N.P. about 2700 fps. If the crosswind is Gusting up to 20 MPH, how much variance over the norm, if any, should I expect on my groups at 100 yards? Thanks, BB

I punched it in to the Ballistic calc and it said 1.6 inches. Thanks again for the help. The Ballistic calculator will come in handy in the future. BB
