MLB DFS Weather: Wednesday, April 20

It does NOT look like this scene will have to be repeated in TX tonight

Brief Summary (Updated at 5:30 PM EDT): Today's "trouble"spot is in TEX. However, I am not worried about a PPD threat and I would be surprised if this game experienced a delay. Widely scattered thunderstorms will be across the northern and eastern part of the state. By the random nature of thunderstorms, this is a location to watch and I will provide updates throughout the day via Twitter.

Simulated radar at 8 PM EDT:

Thunderstorm activity will be extremely spotty tonight. We should be good to go!

 

Good Hitting Environment:
 -Relatively warm and humid for HOU at TEX

Poor Hitting Environments:
-The East Coast cities of BOS, NYC, BLT and PHL continue to see plenty of dry and somewhat cool air in place making the air density high. At least there is not alot of wind in these locations tonight.

HOU at TEX 8:05: A scattering of thunderstorms across the region means THERE IS AN EXTREMELY LOW THREAT OF PPD AND AN EXTREMELY LOW THREAT OF A DELAY(S). Wind SE 6-12 mph which blows in from center. The wind is a 4. Temps falling from the mid to upper 70s to near 70. Air density is a 7.

Temps near 70 falling to near 60. Air density is a 6.
