A pretty rainy and cooler start to the week for our Northeast teams but for our southern M-Braves it will be quite hot and dry. We will be checking in on potential thunderstorms and delays for our Northern teams. Let’s get into the details!
New York Yankees
The Yankees continue their home streak with a series against the Los Angeles Angels at 7:05pm EDT. Temperatures will be the upper to mid 70s with humidity continually increasing from around 78% to around 88% throughout the game. It will be a fairly cloudy game with cloud coverage around 50%. I think we could see some rain showers come into play especially in the later innings. Winds will be quite low at the surface and at 150ft winds will start around 5mph and only increase to about 9mph. Winds will be going towards left field to start the game but will shift to pointing in towards home plate.
Wednesday’s game against the Angels takes place at 7:05pm EDT. Temperatures will be around 70 degrees with very high humidity near 90%. This is because there will be rain showers and full cloud coverage around the scheduled game time. These rain showers may cause delays in the game. Winds at 150ft will be around 10mph pointing towards home plate. Be mindful about the potential for delays or cancelations.
Thursday at 7:05pm EDT the Yankees close out their series against the Angels. Temperatures will be around 65 degrees with humidity in the low 90% range. It will be cloudy and rainy with the likelihood of rain being very high. It will also be quite windy with winds at the surface around 10mph and up at 150ft winds will be around 20mph. This game may end up being a washout so if you are planning on attending be mindful of that.
Brooklyn Cyclones
Tonight the Cyclones host our very own Renegades at 7pm EDT. Temperatures will be around the upper to mid 70s. Humidity will be around 90% with cloud coverage around 40%. We might be looking at a some scattered thunderstorms and showers especially coming into the later innings. Winds at 150ft will be increasing throughout the game slightly but staying around 10mph. Winds will be pointing towards the infield. Keep updated on the radar and forecasts as a flood watch is in effect for this area from 2pm EDT Tuesday 8/6 to 12pm EDT Wednesday 8/7.
The Cyclones continue to play the Renegades on Wednesday at 7pm EDT. Temperatures will be cooler around 70 degrees however humidity will be around 88%. We will be seeing plenty of rain and total cloud coverage. Winds will be stronger around 13mph at the surface and around 18mph at 150ft. These winds will be pointing towards the right field baseline. This game might be a washout on Wednesday since the chance of rain is so high during the game.
Thursday’s game against the Renegades takes place at 7pm EDT. Temperatures will be around 65 degrees and humidity around 90%. Cloud coverage will be at 100% with pliantly of rain showers spreading across the region. Scattered thunderstorms are possible for the area. Winds will be higher around 15mph at the surface and around 22mph at 150ft. This game is not looking great like Wednesday so we may be seeing some double headers this weekend or just a cancelation of some games to start the week.
Mississippi Braves
The M-Braves take on the Pensacola Blue Wahoos at 6:35pm CDT tonight. It will be quite hot with temperatures starting in the low 90s and only cooling to the upper 80s. Humidity will start low around 45% but increase to the low 60% range by the later innings. It will be a very clear night. Winds will be light at the surface and at 150ft around 6/7mph. Winds will be pointing towards the right baseline. A pretty hot night but with a lower humidity, the sun in the first half of the game will be the main contributor to the real feel temperatures.
At 6:35pm CDT on Wednesday the M-Braves continue their series against the Blue Wahoos. A super hot evening with temperatures starting in the mid 90s and only dropping to the low 90s. Humidity will start at 40% but increase to 60%. There will be a few clouds in the sky but overall very clear. Winds will be very light at the surface and at 150ft only around 6mph towards the right baseline. With the sun and increasing humidity the real feel will be quite hot for an evening game.
Thursday’s game against the Blue Wahoos takes place at 6:35pm CDT. Temperatures will be slightly cooler than the previous two days with temperatures in the upper 80s. Humidity will linger in the mid 50% range with clear skies. Winds at the surface will be around 5mph while up at 150ft they will be around 10mph.
