Some pretty hot weather games this weekend as all our baseball teams play home series. After the week of All-Star break we finally have some games to forecast. Let’s jump into it!
New York Yankees
Tonight the Yankees face the Tampa Bay Rays at 7:05pm EST. It will be a pretty mild night with temperatures starting in the mid 80s and cooling down to the mid 70s by the end of the game. The humidity will start out very low only around 35% but as we head into the middle innings we will see a major increase with humidity around 65%. This humidity comes with some cloud cover with cloud cover at about 50% during that period. Winds will also start to increase mid game with winds around 15 mph at 150ft for the middle to late innings. The wind will be blowing out from left field for batting practice but by game time it will be coming from right field. Enjoy the lower humidity for the first few innings because it will become more muggy as the game continues.
The Yankees play another game against the Rays on Saturday at 1:05pm EST. This game will be a pretty mild one with temperatures in the mid 80s. Humidity will be around 60% throughout the game. Cloud coverage will be between 60-75% with the clouds increasing throughout the game. Winds will start out low at around 8 mph and increase to around 14 mph at 150ft. Winds will be coming from the right baseline region which might cause for some fly balls being pushed out towards left field. There is a light chance for some rain in the first few innings but it would just be a quick drizzle if any precipitation at all.
Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays takes place at 1:35pm EST. The game will be pretty mild with temperatures in the mid 80s and humidity around 60% for the game. It will be pretty cloudy with cloud coverage around 90% for the middle innings. Winds will be light and variable at all levels. The cloud coverage will keep it pretty warm for the game but there is no real chance of rain for the game.
Brooklyn Cyclones
The Cyclones take on the Jersey Shore BlueClaws at 7pm EST. Temperatures will start in the high 70s and lower to the mid 70s as the game goes on. Humidity will slightly increase from around 60% at the start to close to 66% by the end of the game. There will be a few clouds in the sky with some light winds at the surface. At 150ft winds will be in the low 10s facing towards left infield. This could have some effects on the ball especially fly balls trying to go out to right field.
Saturday’s game against the BlueClaws at 6pm EST will be a mild one with the temperature at 79 degrees for the whole game. It will be pretty humid with humidity at around 70% for the game.

Up at 150ft winds will be around 20mph for the first few innings and calming to about 15 mph by the end of the game. The winds will be pointing towards left infield and these winds will have a decent effect on how far out fly balls will travel.
The Cyclones finish their series against the BlueClaws on Sunday at 2pm EST. The temperature will be at 78 degrees with humidity at about 68%. It will be partly cloudy at the start of the game and those clouds will start to pass through by the late innings.
