Here’s why the strawberry moon is rare this year
Showers and storms will be common in some parts of the Midwest, South and East this weekend, and this could mean certain interruptions of sporting events, which you assist or watch on television.
Here is a more in -depth examination of what the Major League Baseball and the NCAA baseball superball could see:
Saturday forecasts
Major League Baseball
Note: We only included matches that have a chance of rain at one point this weekend and are outside.
- Cubs de Chicago in Detroit Tigers (Saturday – 1:10 p.m. Hae | Sunday – 1:40 p.m. Hae) – There is no threat of rain for the match on Saturday. On Sunday, a meteorological system passing to the south could present a chance of showers, so it is worth keeping informed of forecasts in case. Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be enough rain to force a cancellation.
- Toronto Blue Jays at the Minnesota twins: (Saturday and Sunday – 1:10 pm CDT) – A successful shower or thunderstorm is possible on Saturday afternoon, so take a poncho in case. A lightning time cannot be excluded if a storm is formed near the stadium. It will be part of the cloudy Sunday, but the most notable change will be the gusts of wind up to 25 MPH by picking up from the west.
- Dodgers from Los Angeles to the Cardinals of St. Louis – (Saturday and Sunday – 1:15 p.m. CDT) – showers and thunderstorms are a good bet in the metropolitan region on Saturday, so a delay in lightning or rain is possible and a cancellation cannot be excluded. The good news is that Sunday has no worries of time with a partially cloudy sky and warming from the 80s.
- Texas Rangers at Washington Nationals – (Saturday – 4:05 p.m. Hae | Sunday – 1:35 p.m. Hae) – The risk of shower is low on Saturday, but Sunday will have increasing dispersed storms, therefore a lagging behind or lightning is possible.
- Philadelphia Phillies at Pittsburgh Pirates (Saturday – 4:05 p.m. Hae | Sunday – 1:35 p.m. Hae) – A divided weekend is in store with Saturday being good for this interstate match. The risk of rain and thunderstorms is at stake for Sunday, so a delay in rain or lightning is possible.
- Arizona Diamondbacks at Cincinnati Reds (Saturday – 4:10 p.m. Hae | Sunday – 1:40 p.m. Hae) – The time of a meteorological system according to the Ohio valley will play a role in the question of whether one or the other game sees precipitation. The scattered storms could arrive at the end of the afternoon on Saturday, but they may be held until the end of the match or after the end. Sunday, scattered successful showers could linger to the first launch in the early afternoon. For the two games, take a poncho in case and know that a laggside or lightning cannot be excluded.
- Houston Astros at Cleveland Guardians (Saturday – 4:10 p.m. Hae | Sunday – 1:40 p.m. Hae) – Saturday’s match should be very good. An approaching meteorological system on Sunday will bring rain to the Cleveland region, so rain delay is possible.
- Kansas City Royals in Chicago White Sox (Saturday – 3:10 p.m. CDT | Sunday 1:10 p.m. CDT) – On Saturday, the threat of showers will not arrive before evening, so this game should have no problem. The threat of rain on Sunday is low, but we cannot exclude a shower, although the risk of delay seems low.
- Boston Red Sox in New York Yankees (Saturday – 7:35 p.m. HAE | Sunday 7:10 p.m. HAE) – The day on Saturday could have some showers or a risk of thunderstorm, but the first evening throw should be good for this rivalry. The Sunday evening’s match is more questionable, according to the calendar of a approaching meteorological system. For the moment, plan to take a poncho in case and know that a rain period is possible but not guaranteed. Forecasts are likely to change, so stay up to date on Sunday.
Sunday forecasts
NCAA Baseball Super Regionals
Note: We only included matches that have a chance of rain at one point this weekend and are outside.
- Arizona against North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (Saturday noon Hae | Sunday TBD, if necessary) – The risk of a storm is low for the match on Saturday, with the greatest chance that late during the day. If the Sunday’s match is necessary and is in the afternoon, the dispersed storms could be a threat.
- Miami against Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky (Saturday 11 a.m. Hae | Sunday TBD, if necessary) – The early start on Saturday should help prevent thunderstorms from arriving later during the day. If a third match is necessary, Sunday should go well, apart from a few first showers.
- Murray State against Duke in Durham, North Carolina (Saturday 1 p.m. Hae | Sunday noon Hae) – The forecast is similar to that of the match of Arizona and the North Carolina. Storm chances are the biggest later in the afternoon, so Saturday should not have a problem unless the game is working for a long time. The Sunday’s match starting early should avoid the biggest storm chances that arrive later in the day, but a lightning time or rain is possible at the end of the match, especially if it takes place in the middle of the afternoon.
- Virginie-Western against LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Saturday 1 p.m. CDT | Sunday 5 p.m. CDT): The risk of a storm is low this weekend, but you cannot be completely excluded on Sunday afternoon. It will be hot, the summits of the afternoon reaching the mid-90s.
- Coastal Carolina vs Auburn in Auburn, Alabama (Saturday 2 h Cdt | Sunday TBD, if necessary): We do not expect any problem for Saturday. If the Sunday’s match is deemed necessary, storms could be a factor.
- Tennessee against Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas (Saturday 4 p.m. CDT | Sunday 2 p.m. CDT): Thunderstorms should leave on Saturday morning, so the afternoon match should go well. No meteorological concern is expected either for Sunday.
