SF at ATL will see a tstorms. Here is the 7 PM simulated radar:
PPD RISK VERY LOW, LOW TO MODERATE DELAY RISK
The SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has both Kansas City and Chicago in the risk area for tstorms tonight.
LAD at CHC. Here is the simulated radar for 8 PM:
Looks somewhat bad but thinking is that this may be overdone. Let's look at the surface map for this time:
A stationary front is to their north while a cold front is to their west. Basically, there is no surface features right on top of them, they are just in a warm and humid airmass with thunderstorms moving well out ahead of the cold front. This generally means that the rain is NOT steady and tstorms will weaken after the sun sets until the cold front is closer to them. Thus, while this area needs to be watched carefully, I think they will be able to play. LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE OF PPD; MODERATE TO HIGH CHANCE OF DELAYS
TB at KC is a higher threat for a PPD than the game in Chicago. The cold front is right on top of them this evening. That means tstorms will be numerous. Let's look at a simulated radar for 8 PM:
The short term model I use the most really does not agree with my statement that this game is more worrisome. However, this model, which is better in the medium range, agrees:
But even this model shows that the back edge is near KC and that they should be able to play. LOW TO MAYBE MODERATE CHANCE OF A PPD; MODERATE CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
CIN at COL will also see some rain as can be seen on a couple of maps above. Let's look at the simulated radar for the region at 8 PM:
9 PM:
*** Does not look quite as bad as it did earlier this morning. Precip looks lighter, spottier. Seeing that the radar is VERY quiet right now, this makes alot of sense to me. LOW CHANCE OF PPD/ LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)***
-Summer warmth and humidity will cause the air density to be low for SF at ATL.
-CIN at COL will have the huge advantage of very low air density thanks to being more than 5000 feet above sea level.
-As compared to many of the outdoor games that are played with early summer warmth and humidity, the 2 California games (LAA, OAK) and games played indoors (probably AZ, MIL, MIA) will be at a disadvantage, though MIL seems to favor hitters whether or not the roof is closed.
