Forecasting Analysis:
KC@CHW
A few random showers/tstorms will be scattered across the region. As you can see below, the coverage is sparse. Here is the 2 PM simulated radar (near scheduled 1st pitch):
The chances of US Cellular being right under one of these c/ells is rather small so the PPD threat is minimal, delay threat slightly higher. VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD, LOW THREAT OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
CHC@ATL
Widely scattered showers will be around the region this afternoon. Unless something threatens the area that is more organized, I will not show any radars/simulated radars. VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD/ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
SD@COL
A batch of rain will try to move off the Rocky Mountains AFTER the game has started. Here is the simulated radar for 8 PM:
Only real concern here is if the rain moves in earlier than what this model shows. Though possible, this scenario is not likely. VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD/ANY TYPE OF DELAY(s)
DET@NYY
Rain should exit the region before 1st pitch> Here is the simulated radar for 7 PM:
Unless this rain is slower leaving the region we should be OK. VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD/ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
STL@PIT
Showers and tstorms will be found across western Pennsylvania much of the day. However, by scheduled 1st pitch the rain should of left the region for the most part. Though PNC will not be completely out of the woods, unless something changes in this setup they should be OK.
8 PM:
VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD, LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)
