Weather Watch, August 16

3 of 14 games have notable weather tonight.

3 of tonight's 14 games have weather worth a second look. The rest are playable and unremarkable, which is the normal state of a summer slate and the reason this only runs when there is something to say.

Games to check

MIN, Target Field. 63% chance of rain, postponement risk

ATL, Truist Park. 91°F, warm air, the ball carries

HOU, Daikin Park. 94°F, warm air, the ball carries _Retractable roof, if it is closed, none of this reaches the field, and in heat like this it usually is._

How to read this

Temperature is the most reliable weather effect in baseball: warm air is less dense and the ball carries further. It is a real edge at the extremes and a rounding error between 70 and 80 degrees.

Wind is reported as a speed and a compass direction and deliberately left uninterpreted. Whether a south wind helps hitters depends entirely on which way the park faces, and that is not something this site knows, so the bearing is given as a fact rather than dressed up as a conclusion.

Rain probability is the one to act on in daily formats. A postponed game is a zero in your lineup, and that costs more than any carry effect gains.

Retractable-roof parks are flagged with a caveat rather than asserted. The feed reports the roof TYPE, never whether it is open tonight, and a park that shuts the roof at 100 degrees turns the loudest number on the board into no effect at all. Fixed domes are excluded outright.
