Forecasting Analysis:
PIT@STL
Current radar:
Rain should exit the region over the next hour or so. Delayed start looks possible or even likely but I do not think this game is in danger of being PPD.
ATL@PHI
This game should start dry there this afternoon. Here is what the radar at 4 PM may look like:
But some light and showery rain should move in during the game. Here is what the radar could look like at 7 PM:
So we really should not have any problems here. VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD OR OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY LATE IN THE GAME
DET@CLE
Some light, showery rain will likely impact the game on the shores of Lake Erie tonight. Here is what the radar could look like at 7 PM:
I would expect a few showers to move through this evening. The bigger risk here, in my opinion, is if the heavier blob is just a bit farther to the north. Then we are into a heavier and steadier rain. That blob is too close for comfort to CLE so there is SOME risk her but the trend has been south. So this is good news. LOW CHANCE OF PPD OR OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
