We have plenty of fun games to forecast for with the Yankees playing in the Subway Series against the Mets and the Renegades playing at home. We will be watching for some thunderstorms for our two minor league teams on Wednesday which may cause some issues and some cooler weather for Thursday night. Let’s take a swing at it!
New York Yankees
Tonight the Yankees take on the Mets for the first game of the Subway Series at Citi Field in Queens at 7:10pm EDT. The Yankees won’t have to travel far to get some nice weather with temperatures in the mid 80s for the start of the game and cooling down to the upper 70s as we head towards the end of the game. Humidity will be moderate, just under 50% which is fairly comfortable with a light breeze at field level. For ball travel the wind will carry it up some with winds at 150ft around 10-13mph and blowing out towards left field. Some moderate cloud cover will help keep the feels like temperatures a bit cooler than the surface temperature especially in the higher level seats. Overall really nice weather for some baseball!
The Subway Series continues at Citi Field at 7:10pm EDT tomorrow night. Temperatures will be similar to Tuesday’s game with a slightly hotter start temperature. One major difference is the humidity will be nearly 60% at the start of the game and will increase 15% by the end of the game. This will make it a little stuffier for spectators but one nice thing is there will be a nice breeze around 8-10mph and some good cloud cover that will help keep it nice for fans. For players there will be a fairly moderate wind up at 150ft around 12-17mph pointed out towards left field. This with the heat and moisture will help carry balls that extra inch out towards left field which will help some batters out!
Thursday night starts the Yankees away series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The first game of the series starts at 7:07pm EDT. Temperatures will be a lot cooler up in Toronto compared to Queens with the temperatures in the high to mid 60s during the game. Humidity will be about 60% with very light winds at the surface. Up at 150ft we will see wind at about 10mph. The wind will be pointing towards ;eft field for batter practice but will shift to a north wind facing towards home plate come game time. Cloud coverage will be moderate to start the game but by the final innings it will become increasingly clearer.
Brooklyn Cyclones
The Cyclones are away for a series against the Aberdeen IronBirds starting with tonights game at 7:05pm EDT. Temperatures will be in the mid 80s to start and will drop to the low 80s towards the end of the game. Humidity will be around 40% for the first few innings but will increase up to 55% by the final innings. It will be a clear evening will a light south breeze but gusts up to 20mph which will take balls into the left field foul zone. The wind will calm as the innings go onwards but will remain in the same direction.
Wednesday’s 7:05pm EDT game against the IronBirds will be slightly cooler with temperatures inn the low 80s however, we are looking a decent chance of thunderstorms in the area. Especially the first few innings we are looking at a 65% chance of precipitation and a greater risk for thunder and lightning. This is likely to continue throughout the middle innings as well. Thunderstorms will be in the area for a while which may lead to a postponed or canceled game so if you plan on attending please be aware of that case. It will be very humid which is helping fuel the convective storms and some light winds from the southwest. The chance for gameplay.
The Cyclones will play at 7:05pm EDT against the IronBirds on Thursday night. Temperatures will be in the mid to low 70s which is a nice cool down from the hotter temperatures we have been seeing. Humidity will be about 60% and it will be a very cloud free evening. There will be a slight wind coming from the northwest which may help balls travel towards right field a bit. Overall a really pleasant night with a nice break from the heat!
Hudson Valley Renegades
The Renegades start their home series tonight against the Wilmington Blue Rocks at 6:35pm EDT. It will be a very nice evening with temperatures in the low 80s and cooling to the high 70s in the final innings. Low humidity at about 35% with some clouds rolling in during the middle innings. A cool southwest wind will help carry balls a bit into left field especially with some gusts in the low teens. A pretty nice start to a home series!
The 6:35pm EDT game against the Blue Rocks on Wednesday evening will see a chance for thunderstorms. The chance of thunderstorms in the early innings is scattered but thunderstorms are very likely in the later innings around the 7-9 innings. These storms are a bit scattered so by Wednesday the timing or exact location of these storms may change but just be aware that game time changes may be made. It will be very humid with humidity at about 80% with only a light wind coming from the west northwest which will push fly balls out to right field a bit. Be mindful of possible game changes as the likelihood of thunderstorms is fairly high for late Wednesday night.
Thursday nights game at 6:35pm EDT the Renegades will play the Blue Rocks to continue their series. Temperatures will be much cooler in the low 60s and cooling into the high 50s at the end of the game. It will be a very clear evening and humidity will be about 60%. There will be a slight northwest wind with some gusts in the teens which will help fly balls travel out a bit more towards right field. A bit of a cooler night than our previous games but it will be a nice evening for the players to get a bit of a cooldown after all this heat!
