Weather update

Two games to watch in terms of delay/ppd issues today, CHC and STL. CHC will see rain at times through the early afternoon and tstorms will approach late tonight. In between, they should have enough time to play a baseball game. Strong breeze blowing in from right at Wrigley.

STL does not look so lucky. Strong tstorms move in around 9 pm ET and cause this game to be both a rain-shortned/ppd threat. As we get closer to the game, details on the timing will probably be needed to be adjusted.

The other game with strange weather conditions is TEX. It will be mild as normal, and the wind will be blowing in as normal, but the air is very dry. Abnormally so. Not the usual heat and humidity that they play in most of the time (including last night).

Roofs in MIL and TOR will be closed.

TEX is the only game with any delay/PPD concerns. Their region will be dealing with potentially severe tstorms, so an eye to the sky will be needed. Other locations where weather could play a factor: we see warmth in BAL, chill in CHC and roofs in TOR and HOU will likely be closed.

CHW, CIN both have delay threats as tstorms rumble nearby. Probably not a PPD threat but bears watching. With that same storm system, DET is a PPD threat as the rain is steadier and lasts longer, Warm and muggy further to the east, with a few pop-up tstorms forming during the afternoon hours. NYY, PHI and then WSH this evening could see a tstorm affect them, but chances are they play clean. Strangely enough, another disturbance will affect CA, thus LAA and SD have small delay risks as well.

The last day of May is the first day in quite awhile when we have absolutely no threats of a PPD. The only game with even the hint of some rain is in CIN and even there the risk of a delay looks small.

Really nice weather (not ot, not humid, not cold, not wet) will be found in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast (finally!!) for games in NYY, BAL and PIT. Not quite as warm as it will be in mid-summer for ATL and TEX but the ball should still carry well in those place. SEA is having its best stretch of weather for the year, the roof will likely be open

TEX is the big game to watch for today. Severe thunderstorms with flooding are likely in the area. Generally they find a way to play through situations like these and that likelihood is a bit higher in an afternoon game (they have the time to wait the bad weather out).

CLE, WSH and ATL have very small chances of a pop-up tstorm affecting them. Nice and warm in many locations including TEX, CHW, NYY, CLE, CIN, WSH and ATL while DET and BOS remain on the chillier side.

Lots of nuisance games today, ones that could have some rain/delay threats but probably won’t (BOS, NYY, PHI, WSH, ATL, CHW, TEX). None look like PPD threats. None look like a repeat of last night in CIN (lengthy delay, rain-shortened game threat).

ATL and TEX will see summer like conditions (i.e. the ball will carry very well).

DET, CHW and CLE are on the chilly side of a cold front, the ball will not carry well there
