Good morning! Here's the latest 7-day forecast: We are expecting another round of hit or miss storms this afternoon/evening across the area. Compared to yesterday's storms, I believe coverage will be slightly less (20-30%) along with most of the activity developing north of the Ohio River. Upper-air flow will come from the north today, so any storms that fire will track north to south. The severe weather threat is expected to stay rather minimal today, but I can't rule out a few storms becoming strong to severe with heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and small hail. I think a large majority…

Good morning! Here's the latest 7-day forecast: We expect another round of widely scattered storms to develop this afternoon/evening (main threat between 12pm-9pm EDT) mainly along and south of I-70 which could potentially impact this evening's game. Coverage with today's storms appear to hover around 30%. While the severe weather threat is expected to remain minimal today, I can't rule out a few storms becoming strong to severe with heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and small hail. There are a few isolated pockets of showers/storms working into southwest OH currently and I expect this trend to increase heading into the afternoon…

Good afternoon! Here is the latest 7-day forecast for this upcoming stretch of home games: The first game of this upcoming stretch of games has the potential to be impacted by widely scattered storms associated with a southward-drifting frontal boundary across the area. 30% storm coverage is expected at the time of first pitch tomorrow evening with storm chances continuing through the rest of the game. Widespread severe weather is very unlikely at this time, however, I can't rule out some gusty winds, small hail, and localized heavy downpours with these storms. Temperatures at first pitch will be highly dependent…

Good Sunday morning! Here's the latest 7-day forecast: As of 8:15am EDT an area of showers is slowly drifting south into Kentucky. However, additional widely scattered showers and storms are expected to develop in the area after 10am that have a chance of hindering this afternoon's game. Coverage with this afternoon's storms associated with the upper-level low still hanging onto the region will be near 30% with a slightly greater coverage just off to the west. This won't be an all day rain but just like yesterday it is likely to be intermittent. Temperatures at first pitch in the early…

Good Saturday morning! Here's the latest 7-day forecast: Additional scattered showers and storms may affect tonight's game as an upper-level low over the Great Lakes region continues to sink south today. Early morning showers across northeast IL, northern IN, and northwest OH will drift southward with the low pressure system during the remainder of the morning bringing scattered shower and storm chances to the area after 1pm EDT today. Coverage will remain ~40% through the afternoon and evening in southwest OH, so this won't be an all day rain but more intermittent rains. A very brief spin-up is possible in the area due…

Good Sunday morning! Forecast remains mostly dry with hit and miss showers/storms through Wednesday. Temperatures for this afternoon's first pitch will be near 92ºF with it remaining in the low to mid 90s for the rest of the game. Heat index values this afternoon peak around 100ºF. Pulse-type storms are possible across the area this afternoon and evening and will remain isolated through this timespan. A weak front settles in Monday with an uptick in widely scattered storm chances, then as we head into mid-week any storm chances become more isolated. Plan on the heat and humidity to continue through…

Good Saturday afternoon! Forecast is looking mostly dry and hot through Independence Day. A Heat Advisory is in effect through 8pm this evening. Temperatures for this afternoon's start to the game will be near 94ºF with most of the game staying in the low 90s. Heat index values this afternoon peak in the low 100s and near 100ºF tomorrow. This afternoon's game will remain dry while tomorrow's early afternoon game may have a slight risk of pulse-type storms. These type of storms are isolated and are more likely during the late afternoon and early evening. A weak front settles in…

Good Friday morning!  Forecast is looking dry and hot through much of the weekend.  Temperatures will be very warm this evening near 90º at first pitch, then slowly fall into the mid/low 80s by the end of the game.  Heat index values this afternoon peak around 94º-97º, 96-100º Saturday, and 98-101º Sunday.  Right now the timing of the storm chance Sunday doesn't look to arrive until the evening, so all games this weekend should be free of any storm risks.  A weak front settles in Monday with an uptick in widely scattered storm chances, then as we head into the…

Good morning!  Here is the updated 7-day forecast.  Today looks great with mostly sunny skies and very light winds.  Any storm chances remain limited through much of the weekend with the main story being the hot temperatures building in.  Heat index values peak near 90º today, 95-100º Friday, then peak heat indices look to be 97º-102º Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  We still have a chance for a few storms later Sunday, but if trends continue we may even need to nudge down the chances as data is keeping the area mostly dry.  Overall it's likely we stay clear of any…
