60 percent chance of storms beginning around three pm. Could be heavy. Chances we play are too low for zero.

Do we do a double header tomorrow with Skenes. Worst thing that could happen is we get rained out. Momentum killer.

This is what we talked about yesterday BDog.

From KMOV:

1pm - 8pm
scattered to heavy thunderstorms

Only hope is they exit the St. Louis metro and move south by 3-4 pm so they can get the game in.

With the ASB there's no need to rush for the teams to get to the next city and Braves all-stars are going home to Atl anyway.
There is a nice cluster SW of STL, predicted to miss west to north. However, a shift to the right so slightly would catch STL. On this one.

The area is in a trough of Low pressure, a stalled front. This creates a path of ieast resistance for storms. This trough boundary is nearing STL from the west.
KMOV did say worst should be south of St. Louis so fingers crossed!
I mentioned earlier STL sits on the NW side of the moisture sweet spot. Meaning it’s possible for heavy storms, but more likely south to east, where the zone lies.
Good news it's overcast in St. Louis metro so no sunshine heat to fuel it.
Actually that may help. May help stabilize the atmosphere some. Put a cap on it.

Hope you are right sikeston! Taking my son to the game today. I haven't been to a game since 2023. Hoping we don't have to sit at Busch all day.

Still no bright sunshine!

Radar shows a cell coming to the city around noon. The big mess west of town seems to be staying west to north.

Nothing south yet.

How long will baseball wait it out today.
Many and umps should have evening flights booked to fly home for the break? Maybe they do all they can to keep playing.

82 degrees outside my Chesterfield office so not very hot, cloudy too!

Given it's the ASB and no one has to rush to catch a flight, they should stay as long as it takes to play this game

I dont understand this response. Players aren't rushing off for the only family vacation time they have in the summer... with kids out of school? Last day before vacation is often a "get out of Dodge" day. Example NA still lives in SoCal ? He wouldnt plan to fly out tonight after a day game, to home or meet at some vacation location, rather than just sit in STL?

Plenty of time for Vacation after the season, they'll stay as late as possible to get this game it.

Oh there was rain. :lol:

We waited it out as long as we could and just got home. Of course the game is starting back up at 6:30 CT.
