Brief Summary:

PPD threat: none   Delay threat: NYY, TEX

SPC thunderstorm outlook for today/this evening:

Nothing more than a few showers expected around TOR at NYY. If one of the showers were to stall right over the stadium, A DELAY WOULD BE POSSIBLE BUT UNLIKELY. The delay is the worst case scenario. Shown below are simulated radars from 7 and 8 PM respectively:

LAA at TEX will see the threat of a few thunderstorms around this evening. Here is the simulated radar for near scheduled 1st pitch:

You can see that the coverage is sparse and thus A PPD IS UNLIKELY

However, with the popcorn nature of these thunderstorm cells, THE THREAT OF A DELAY IS THERE. WITH THE COVERAGE OF 30%, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ESTIMATE FOR THE CHANCE OF A DELAY

The thing we will have to look out for is one of the thunderstorm cells stalling and sitting over the stadium. Rather unlikely but that would bring the risk of a PPD.

 

There is a slight chance, very slight, that a thunderstorm could move into the Windy City and affect KC at CHW VERY late in their game. I will keep an eye on this region and see if anything changes.

 

Another area I will watch but should not be a problem is SD at SF. A few showers will be around, mainly inland, but should have little or no impact on the game itself.

Good Hitting Environments:

-Warm temperatures with a breeze blowing out to left for CHC at STL and for AZ at STL. 

-NYM at WSH will see warm and somewhat humid conditions with a breeze blowing out to right. 

-LAA at TEX will see summer-like temperatures and humidity allowing for low air density.  

-CLE at CHW and KC at MIN will also see warm temperatures. 

Poor Hitting Environment:

-Cool temperatures causing high air density will be found at Fenway for COL at BOS.
