Brief Summary:
Summer warmth, humidity and tstorms
PPD Threats: KC, CHC, COL
Delay Threats: NYM (slight), ATL (slight), CLE (slight), TX
The afternoon game at Wrigley Field will see rain at times. Here are the simulated radars at 2 and 3 PM respectively:
The rain is not expected to be overly heavy nor steady. There is risk here but they could just as easily play this one through the rain. MODERATE THREAT OF A PPD OR SOME TYPE OF DELAY
LAD at NYM will see a few tstorms affecting the region. Here are the 7 and 8 PM simulated radars respectively:
PPD THREAT IS MINIMAL. DELAY THREAT IS HIGHER, ~ 20% CHANCE OF A DELAY AT SOME POINT
A small risk of a shower/tstorm for both MIA at ATL and BLT at CLE. I won't post simulated radars for these pair of locations unless the weather becomes more worrisome. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A DELAY OR PPD
Though the highest risk of severe weather should be north of PIT at TEX, we can not rule out some tstorm activity near Arlington tonight. Here is the simulated radar for 8 PM:
Let's go LOW CHANCE OF A PPD; LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE OF SOME SORT OF DELAY
More severe weather is possible around CHW at KC. Here is the simulated radar for 8 PM:
Looks eerily similar to last night. MODERATE PPD RISK, MODERATE TO HIGH DELAY RISK
DEN will see some chilly rain tonight. Here is the simulated radar for 8 PM:
There will be several bands of rain that rotate in and out of the region all day long. If the ballpark happens to be under one that is slow moving, then we have a LOW TO MODERATE RISK OF A PPD; A MODERATE RISK OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY.
Good Hitting Environment:
-If PHL at CHC are able to play, expect mild and humid conditions with a wind blowing out to left-center.
-Summerlike for STL at WSH, BLT at CLE and LAD at NYM with warm, muggy conditions as well as a breeze blowing out to left-center.
-Warm and humid for PIT at TEX.
-Any game is COL has the advantage of 5000 feet + of elevation thus extreme low air density.
Poor Hitting Environment:
-None stand out as particularly bad.
