Brief Summary:

 

PPD Threats: none

Delay Threats: NYM (low), ATL (very low), BLT, COL (low), PHL, KC (low)

Well it seems like CHW at NYM are going to luck out and be able to play as they are right in-between 2 areas of rain (not sure if this will bring Matt Harvey any luck though). Let me show you:


1 PM simulated radar:

Notice all the rain from associated with Tropical Depression Bonnie out over eastern Long Island. That looks like it will stay there. And at the same time, a cold front is approaching from the west. By evening, this is what the radar should look like:

8 PM:

You really could not pick a better timing/placement for this game to play this afternoon. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF PPD/LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

A few widely scattered tstorms near SF at ATL. I will watch the radar near this game but right now nothing looks too threatening. Here is the simulated radar for 1 PM:

EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD; LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

Similar to the game in Queens, BOS at BLT will see rain associated with Bonnie nearby. According to the model I prefer, the rain makes its closest approach around 2 PM:

Worrisome how close the rain is. What I have to remember here is that models are just a guide, they are wrong all the time. So, lets look at the current radar:

Not bad at all! Makes me trust the model a bit less. LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW TO MAYBE MODERATE CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

A few scattered showers/tstorms will be around CIN at COL. Here is the 4 PM simulated radar:

As you can see, there should not be big issues here. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD; LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

WSH at PHL will be in the same weather setup as NYM and BLT, as Bonnie's rain will be to the east and a cold front is approaching from the west. Here is what the simulated radars look like:

7 PM

8 PM:

It looks like only a matter of time until that line of heavy rain pushes into Citizen's Bank Park. According to this model, it is sometime around 9 or10 PM. LOW CHANCE OF PPD, MODERATE CHANCE OF A DELAY AFTER 9 PM

TB at KC will see a few tstorms scattered about. Nothing organized as can be seen on the 8 PM simulated radar:

EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

Good Hitting Environments:

-As always, when the Rockies play at home, the advantage of extremely low air density at Coors Field simply can not be ignored (CIN at COL)

-Summer temps will be found in for SF at ATL. 

-MIN at OAK will see temps a few degrees warmer than normal and a strong wind blowing out to right.

-LAD at CHC will experience warm temps at Wrigley Field.

-WSH at PHL will see mild temps and a light breeze blowing out to center.

-Warm with a breeze blowing out to left for TB at KC.

Poor Hitting Environments:

-Especially compared to other stadiums, DET at LAA will be played in cool temperatures.
