Brief Summary (6:45 PM Update):
PPD Threat: PIT (15%)
Delay Threats: PIT(50%), PHL (15%)
Good Hitting Environment: PHL
Poor Hitting Environments: PIT, AZ (roof closed), LAD, SD
FORECASTING ANALYSIS:
Current radar:
CHC at PHL
This game has become a slight delay risk. Showers in central PA are heading towards PHL. Will they survive? Will they be heavy enough to impact the game? Here is the simulated radar at 8 PM:
Probably not but I wanted to at least alert you to the small risk here. VERY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
NYM at PIT
Current radar:
We can see the showers and storms that will cause the in-game delay threat.
Tstorms will be found across western Pennsylvania this evening. Here is the simulated radar for 7 PM:
And 9 PM:
Have to look at the current radar and realize things are going to have to get much worse and in a hurry for this game to be a PPD threat. And the models really do not show scheduled 1st pitch that busy so I think they are OK. That being said, showers and tstorms will be developing and passing through the region all evening long so a delay or two is a legitimate concern. LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE OF A DELAY
TOR at DET
Current radar:
Radar has cleared out nicely. We now have no issues to worry about here,
VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD OOF A DELAY
